Admins and event planners: New ‘Save the Date’ feature now available for catering

Tuesday, July 1st, 2025

Do you have an upcoming lunch, dinner or event but aren’t quite ready to decide on the menu? Great news: Bon Appetit now offers a “Save the Date” function!

If you already know the date and time of your event, you can now reserve that spot on our calendar without finalizing the menu. This helps us plan ahead for staffing and ensures that we’ll follow up with you closer to the event to confirm details.

Try it out here: Save the Date on CaterTrax

Benefits:

  • Secure your event date early
  • Avoid last-minute service issues
  • Gives our team time to prepare and support your needs
  • We’ll proactively follow up with you for final menu details

Special Reminder: If you have any events coming up in August, please consider placing your “Save the Date” or full orders as soon as possible to help us ensure a smooth experience.

If you have any questions about this function, please feel free to reach out to catering@georgefox.edu.

Make note of new contract submission procedure

Tuesday, July 1st, 2025

We are implementing a new procedure for submitting contracts at the university. Effective immediately, please send all contracts and related correspondence to our new centralized email address: gfcontracts@georgefox.edu.

This change is part of our effort to streamline the contract process and ensure proper documentation and review, along with providing a centralized place for communication. This email is monitored by several people, so please do not CC additional recipients.

Important Reminder:
All contracts will undergo a legal review before they can be signed. This review process can take some time, so please plan accordingly and submit contracts well in advance of any deadlines or expected start dates.

Thank you for your attention to this new process and for helping us maintain compliance and consistency in our contracting procedures. Look for a new contract policy soon.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Lenore Stewart at lstewart@georgefox.edu.
