[Vision2020] Gritman's Community Service

[Donovan Arnold]

"Gritman provided hot chocolate, coffee, and cookies for participants of the 
Holiday Parade.  Gritman also provides hot dogs and drinks for the 
Homecoming Parade."

Don't forget the lolly pop and a free sticker if you don't cry during a 
hysterectomy.

Really though, it is so nice for UI students to pay an extra $500 a semester 
in addition to other fees so they can get free coffee and cookies at 
downtown events. What a deal! And we wonder why students are leaving UI by 
the hundreds. The logic just doesn't follow :P
