A Note About Dishes

Last year, AVI spent over $16,000 on replacement plates and cups for Peirce. Many of these items were lost to student theft. Every dollar spent on replacing plates and cups is a dollar less to spend on food and amenities. Be a part of the solution and keep all dishes in the dining hall. Thanks!
