A potluck allows everyone to contribute to the meal, ensuring a wide variety of dishes. If your HOA is considering organizing a community Thanksgiving potluck, here’s a simple guide to make it a success: start with a planning committee, set a date and location early, create a sign-up sheet, coordinate special dietary needs, plan for tableware and utensils, decorate to set the mood, establish a schedule for the event, communicate clearly with attendees, prepare for clean-up, and have a backup plan for leftovers.
