Shared Potluck-style Dinner

From 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm in the lounge. Since the kitchen will be closed in November, we’re unable to organize a large birthday dinner this month.

So, we’ve decided to hold a shared Potluck-style meal!

It’s simple: bring a dish that serves about 10 people. We’ll set it all up on a large table, and we’ll share everyone’s dishes together! Spaces are limited for logistical reasons, so please sign up quickly!

Here’s what to do:

  • List of Participants: Sign up at the reception desk before November 13 and indicate the type of dish you’d like to bring (salad, cold appetizer, hot appetizer, dessert, sandwiches, etc.).

Even if you have a meal plan, you can still join the Potluck. Just let reception know and specify the type of dish you want to bring. If not, the kitchen can prepare a meal for you as usual.
