In June, 2000, Prochaska contacted Carlisle Catering and requested a quotation from Carlisle Catering to cater a graduation party at the Prochaska residence for the Defendant's son's graduation. 6. On or about June 8, 2000, Carlisle Catering provided Prochaska with a catering proposal for the function. A true and correct copy of the catering proposal is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated. 7. On or about June 9, 2000, Prochaska came to the offices of Carlisle Catering to discuss the function. At that time, Prochaska was given a copy of a document known as General Information for Catered Events ("General Information Sheet"). A true and correct copy of the General Information Sheet is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated. 8. At that same meeting, Prochaska was provided with a document known as a Catering Contract. A true and correct copy of the Catering Contract is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and is incorporated. Prochaska paid a deposit of $50.00 to Carlisle Catering. 9. Thereafter, Prochaska requested that Carlisle Catering provide services, equipment and food for the function to take place at Prochaska's residence on June 11, 2000. 10. On June 11, 2000, employees of Carlisle Catering arrived at the Prochaska residence and began to prepare for the outside event for which food service had been scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m. At 2:00 p.m., Prochaska was informed that the food was ready to be served. Employees of Carlisle Catering at that time informed Prochaska that, as a consequence of the extreme heat of the day, individuals in attendance should eat as soon as possible. 11. Service of food to partygoers continued for the next several hours without event. 12. At 4:00 p.m., employees of Carlisle Catering suggested that the food be moved indoors to the air conditioned house of Prochaska. Prochaska agreed and the food was moved inside. 2 13. The food placed in the home included hot dishes which had constantly been heated by use of stereo units. These units remained on and in place when the food was moved inside the home. 14. After delivering the food inside the home, employees of Carlisle Catering began to pack delivery vans with dirty dishes and linens from the event. At approximately 5:00 p.m., a Carlisle employee went into the home to inform Prochaska that they were leaving, having provided to Prochaska the services requested under the catering proposal. Upon entering the home, it was discovered that Prochaska had extinguished the sterno units under the hot dishes moved into the residence. 15. At the time of leaving the Prochaska residence, no complaints had been made to any Carlisle Catering employee regarding the quality of the foodstuffs provided for the event. 16. On June 11, 2000, Prochaska was provided with an invoice for the services, equipment and food provided by Carlisle Catering. The total invoice price was $2,434.81. A true and correct copy of the invoice provided to Prochaska is attached hereto as Exhibit 4 and is incorporated. 17. Despite demand therefore, Prochaska has failed and refused to pay to Carlisle Catering the sum of $2,384.81 representing the invoice amount less the $50.00 deposit. COUNT I EWING & SHELLY, INC. v.
