FAQ
What is FAQ?
FAQ is an anachronym for “Frequently Asked Questions”
What is a Potluck Dinner?
A potluck is a communal gathering where each guest or group contributes a different, often homemade, dish of food to be shared. Other names for a "potluck" include potluck dinner, pitch-in, shared lunch, spread, faith supper, carry-in dinner, covered-dish-supper, fuddle, Jacob's Join, bring a plate, and fellowship meal.
What is a Secret Santa?
Secret Santa is a Western Christmas or Saint Nicholas tradition in which members of a group are randomly assigned a person to whom they give a gift. The identity of the gift-giver remains a secret until the end, often the work Christmas party, when Secret Santas are revealed.
I am never on time, what if I am late?
No problem! We will start the program promptly at 5:00 PM.
Where can I plug in my crockpot or hotplate?
You can’t. Space is limited on the food table, and we don’t have additional electrical receptacles.
The dish I am planning to bring requires last-minute preparation, can I use your kitchen?
We don’t have a kitchen at LUG.
I am Vegan/Vegetarian/suffer from food allergies/picky eater, will there be food I can eat?
We usually have a diverse variety of food items; however we have no control over the food participants bring or the ingredients they will use.
I am a terrible cook, what should I bring?
Bless your heart. Go to Publix Deli.
Secret Santa sounds like fun, can I get a gift from anywhere?
Everyone participating in the Secret Santa Gift Exchange will complete a Gift Registry form at Level Up Gaming. When you pull the name of your gift recipient, you will receive their Gift Registry form to select a gift for them. After you purchase your gift, leave it with us and we will wrap it and place it under the tree. Santa will distribute the gifts after dinner.
