Other Expenses

 * Description: We are running out of food money because we have had to use much of the food money to get reimbursed for gas. The CPSC Van has not been as available as last semester so students have had to drive with the promise of getting reimbursed for gas. In order to have the meetings necessary to be the most effective student group it would help to be able to provide food at the meetings. I am requesting $100 for food expenses.
 * TOTAL: $ 100.00
