Food for Picn*x14, August 2005

A number of [Sponsors] have offered to donate food to the event (typically along with monetary donations!) The picnic organizers need to decide how much food and supplies to buy (the day before and day of the event), based on how many people RSVP'd, and how much sponsors have already promised to bring.
