I’m always a little concerned about the ‘distribution’ of food items at a pot luck, especially when the group is small, so I thought I’d create a post for identifying what is being planned.

I’ll start it off by noting that my entry will be a pot of chilli and either brownies or cookies.

You can add your plans as a comment to this post, then everyone will be able to see and perhaps get an idea of what to bring.

Some thoughts on suggestions:

Appetizer plate – cheese, sausage, crackers

Desserts – cookies, cake, jello

Salad dishes

Casseroles are always appropriate.

Everyone should bring their own plates, silver ware, cups and drinks (other than coffee).

I believe Jack Shea will bring coffee?  What about cups, plates and spare utensiles (paper/plastic)?

Hope to see you all there!

Many of us met Bob Mielke at the rides, others may remember him as Bonnie Mielke’s husband. (Bonnie spoke at our Annual Meeting last November)
