Guidelines for Potluck Meetings
Food served at ICGR functions should provide sufficient variety to accommodate the preferences of all members. Because of the food restrictions of several of our member organizations, please avoid dishes containing shellfish, poultry, pork or beef. If you bring one of these dishes, please label the contents clearly. In order to respect their faith tradition, coffee or tea will not be served at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. .
