Meal Assignments

Families have been assigned to help with a meal according to White Shirts (see below). Families can bring hot dishes, salads, and desserts.  Refrigeration will be available.  Dishes will be marked to indicate the meal they will be used for.  Families assigned are asked to help set-up and clean up after their assigned meal.

NEW POTLUCK OPTION!  We understand that some people love to bring food for a potluck and some people would rather not.  This time you have the opportunity to “opt out” of bringing food for your assigned meal by making a financial contribution of $15.00.  If you would rather not worry about bringing food, simply check the box on the registration form, make your donation, and the food committee will handle the rest.  Happy Eating!
