Info: One of the highlights of the Mochi Tsuki Shinnen Kai is the potluck. Everyone attending and participating in the event is expected to bring food. Please bring enough dinner entree to feed your party plus 3 people. This will ensure ample quantity and variety for everyone. Things to keep in mind when preparing your food. Avoid soupy or hard to serve foods. Prepare in bite sized portions to facilitate sharing. Label all of your dishes and utensils and remember to pick them up at the end of the event. Prepare a food card with name of food and ingredients to accompany your food dish. When you arrive for registration, get your name tags, and go to the registration table to confirm your labels and food card are completed. There will be cards and writing supplies available in case you forget. Thank you and itadakimasu!
