December 2014 Pot Luck Holiday Lunch!

Our holiday lunch is 2 weeks away!  For those who would like to bring a dish to pass for our upcoming December Membership Meeting on Sunday the 6th, us BurgerFraus would like to share some ideas (simply as inspiration) for the yummy spread. Since we don’t really need 10 potato salads or half dozen green bean casseroles (or do we?), please email us with the dish you would like to share with the Falcons during our festive holiday lunch. We will be keeping track of the inventory so if you would list 2-3 different items, we will respond with which food category needs fulfilling (but if you have a "must have" dish, let us know and we'll mark it down). And obviously feel free to infuse beer into your dish – another reason to be thankful this time of year! Please be sure to let us know how much/size pan/dish you will be bringing & include your cell phone # in your response so we can follow up with you a week before.

We will have chaffing dishes & outlets available to keep the food warm before lunchtime.

Please note: BurgerFraus WILL NOT be present at the meeting to help set up (we will both be out of town that day).  Please set up/find a spot that makes sense on the tables as if you would your own holiday dinner with your “other” family.  We will have the tables set up that Friday before and extension cords/chaffing dishes accessible to be set up Sunday morning.
