[Green] Community meal

[Adeline Bailey]

Hello, everybody,
Although I certainly understand Stassa's and Shari's points about heat 
in the kitchen, electric usage, etc., I am not sure about recyclable 
paper plates (I can see compostible though).

I will try to help on Friday, too.
With appreciation for all you do,
Adeline
