Considerations for Food Choices:
While entering your contribution to the lunch, please take into account what other people have already indicated to ensure a good variety in the food. This will assure that we are not getting four rice dishes or as many desserts.

RSVP:
In order to ensure that we have balanced meals, please indicate your choice preferably by 5 PM on Wednesday. This will allow time for any adjustments in the menu that may be desirable. As always, if you decide at the last minute to come or bring any guest please feel free, there is always enough food to go around.

Reducing Waste:
Everybody is requested to bring and use their own reusable dishes and take these back home for cleaning. We do have a limited supply of dishes for the guests.


Looking forward to seeing you all on Thursday.
