Guide lines for potluck

For many folks the potluck is the highlight of an SBC Ritual. It's a time for food, fellowship, family, frolic, and fun. In order to have as much frolic, food, and fun as possible we'd love to see a wide variety of different foods at our feasting. We aren't ever going to tell you what to bring, but if you are waffling a little bit, the guide lines below are designed to help bring about multi-faceted feasting. You are in charge of your own beverage needs, but if you want to bring some drinks to share, that's great too! If you were born in March, April, or May, please bring a main dish (meat or vegetarian). If you were born in June, July, or August, please bring some dessert

If you were born in September, October, or November, please bring some sort of fruit and/or vegetable, or a salad. If you were born in December, January, or February please bring along some good carbs -- like bread or mac and cheese or something made with potatoes

Please bring enough to serve at least 10 people, and please make sure it is ready to serve. There will be no one there to cut up a whole chicken or slice a loaf of bread.

Remember to mark your bowls, platters and utensils. Unmarked and abandoned serving pieces will be considered a donation to South Bay Circles.

If possible, please label your food so those with food restrictions will know what's in it.
