to all MIT postdocs, internationals students and scholars, and their families. For a potluck in the US, participants traditionally prepare homemade dishes. For our event, you can bring a homemade creation or a store-bought dish. Share a delicious dish from
home or 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 meals started. We will also have some non-alcoholic drinks, beer, and wine. Be sure to bring your MIT ID and government-issued ID if you want a non-alcoholic beverage.</font></span></p>
<p style="margin:0px; text-align:justify"><span lang="FR" style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt"><font color="#262626" face="Corbel"> Please RSVP your attendance, the number of guests you will likely bring, and indicate the dish(es) you can contribute to the potluck. We
would also like to play music from different cultures at the event and would love it if you could include a YouTube link for a festive song from your culture of choice!
