What to bring: For Potluck In order to optimize the pot-luck dinner contributions, we're asking attendees to bring contributions based on the first letter of their last name:
- A-H: Main dishes
- I-N: Side dishes/salads
- O-R: Desserts
- S-Z: Appetizers or drinks
Of course, you may feel free to bring any of your other favorites!
We'd like to minimize waste by asking attendees to bring their own reusable dishes, utensils and drinkware. There will be a sink and dish soap on site for washing up afterwards. But if anyone forgets to bring their own tableware we'll have backup items available for use.
For Hike -Long pants and socks, sturdy footwear and anything else to be comfortable. Keep an eye to the weather. -Insect repellent. -Water.
We're asking people to register for the event and registration is free. Having people register will help us track expected attendance which in turn will help the Quarry Hill Nature Center know how many tables and chairs to set up for us. Also, those who register will be notified if there are any last-minute changes to our plans because of things like bad weather.
