We have residents from all over the world. We
advertised a "Rice Party" and asked that all
the residents bring a dish (made with rice) from their
country. We put out cards with the name of the
dish and who made it. The building staff provided
the drinks, plates, cups, etc. I made Rice Krispie
Treats; some residents had never had them so I had
several requests for the "recipe!"
:) This was one of our best potlucks ever and it
looks like we will definitely do this program again next
year.
Instructions Things Needed:
Make sure you let the residents know in plenty of time
and consider the time of day and day of the week as you
make your plans. We had our program on a Sunday
night at 6:30 p.m.
Other Considerations:
I'd make more Rice Krispie Treats! Seriously,
consider seating and tables. Everyone should be
able to sit and eat comfortably.
