from a culture you want to celebrate with everyone! Dishes can be an appetizer, snack, main dish, side dish, soup, dessert, or beverage. They can be meat-based, vegetarian, or vegan. Each dish should have enough portions to share for 5-6 people. The MIT-PDA
will provide serving utensils, plates, bowls, cups, and napkins. Also rice, bread, and some dessert items to help get the meals started. We will also have some non-alcoholic drinks. Please RSVP your attendance, the number of guests you will likely bring, and
indicate the dish(es) you plan on contributing to the potluck. We would also like to play festive music from different cultures and would like to include your suggestions for songs to share during the potluck! </span></p>
