π There will be a book-gift exchange as stated in the P&P statement above: please ποΈβπ¨οΈ read the post in the DISCUSSION tab of this Event; and as always, of course, you may still exchange special personal gifts between friends, if you so wish
βοΈ DO GET DRESSED UP if you wish & can. Theme this year is a XXXX (usually medieval village or similar, but can change), so think
<<furs leather="" and="" homespuns="" cloaks="" early="" medieval="" simple="" shifts="" dresses="" tunics="" pants="" boots="">>
But don't fret about it. Be as COMFORTABLE as you wish to be.
βοΈβΎ HELP US HONOUR THE GODS WITH OUR THRIFT & CONSIDERATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT! π We are slowly working to reduce / stop our purchase of disposable settings
β»οΈ So bring your own REUSABLE PLACE-SETTING - β drinkware, plate, bowl, silverware, & cloth napkins are a great way to help us meet our goals π
βοΈ πͺ If you can contribute to potluck, bring it READY TO SERVE, precut & portioned
All fruits & veg should also be πΏ PRE-WASHED, even if package says 'washed', to avoid salmonella & other nasties
βοΈ π² DO BRING a dish to share with AT LEAST 10-12 people. This is most important to help create the Great Feast. π If you are bringing a large group, some extras would be appreciated
βοΈ DO BRING a hearty main or side dish. We usually have way too many desserts, & not enough veggies & meats. One roast of some kind will be provided by CH
βπ₯ DO NOT BRING items that are mayonnaise / egg based, as they do not keep safely for the entire event
β DO NOT BRING BREAD ROLLS, Chalice Hart is providing rolls & breads, π as well as a non-alcoholic bubbly
βοΈ DO BRING YOUR FOOD READY TO SERVE. If it is a cake/pie, cut into SMALL serving portions. π If a roasted chicken, cut it into pieces, etc. Crockpots / Instant Pots are great for keeping items warm
βοΈπ³ Mark your pots, dishes, & π serving-ware, & make sure you TAKE ALL YOUR LEFTOVERS / items home
βοΈπ·οΈ LABEL the food that you bring WITH CLEARLY WRITTEN TAGS, LISTING β ALLβ INGREDIENTS, NO MATTER HOW SMALL THE QUANTITY, OR bring original label of purchased / prepared foods

π Clear listing of ALL INGREDIENTS keeps everyone safe from unexpected food misadventures
βοΈ DO BRING special drinks you may want for your family or to share (wine, beer, special juices).
βοΈπ DO BRING everything that you will need to keep you and yours happy & comfortable. π Also very important: don't come to ritual without adequate self-preparation! This means being adequately nourished, medical needs addressed, & be rested
βοΈπ° SUGGESTED DONATION is $5 per person. This money helps us to pay for the supplies throughout the year, & for the halls during the π Dark of the Wheel
