Discussion about dishes left in the sing again
- Should we have a dishwasher if we don't officially own dishes.
- Should things left after a gathering be treated differently than individual items.
i3Detroit will not own non-disposable dishes for individual use, including plates, bowls, cups, and eating utensils.
This measure neither requires nor prohibits the group from continuing to provide and replenish a stock of disposable equivalents.
The group will continue to own non-disposable containers and utensils which are designed to dispense food or drinks to an entire gathering.
Non-disposable dishes for individual use will be treated like any other abandoned property.
