Important Potluck Guidelines
To help everything run smoothly and keep our food safe and delicious, please review the following details before the event:
- Food Preparation: Please prepare all food in advance. The kitchen will be available first come first serve for reheating only, not for cooking or preparing dishes from scratch.
- Food Storage and Safety: We do not have adequate space to store dishes at the facility before the event. Please keep your food at home until you are ready to leave, maintaining appropriate food-safe temperatures during storage and transportation. Keep cold foods refrigerated or in insulated coolers with ice packs, and transport hot foods in insulated containers to help maintain safe temperatures. Please bring your dish as close to the setup time as practical.
- Serving Utensils: The HOA will provide cups, plates, bowls, eating utensils, and napkins. You must bring your own serving spoon or utensil for your dish.
- Slow Cookers and Electrical Appliances: We cannot guarantee that sufficient electrical outlets or power capacity will be available for slow cookers and other appliances. Please plan accordingly and consider bringing your dish in an insulated container that will maintain its temperature without needing to be plugged in.
We can’t wait to see what everyone brings to the table! Whether it’s a family favorite, a treasured recipe, or a new dish you’re excited to share, this is a wonderful opportunity to connect with neighbors and celebrate the spirit of Friendsgiving.
