We will have spaghetti with meat sauce, salad and garlic bread. For you non-carnivore types we will offer a vegetarian option.

At the PR NEMBA table you will have your chance to buy some sweet PR NEMBA schwag like Trucker Hats and Tech T-Shirts that will display Our New Logo! We did a limited run on these items so it will be on a first come basis. We will also have a raffle for prizes.
