For all VSSJ potlucks:
Each individual in your party (with the exception of children under 12) brings
a vegetarian* dish to share that will feed at least 6 people (vegan** dishes
preferred so that all types of vegetarians may enjoy the food), along with
the recipe or a list of ingredients. To ensure there is enough food for
everyone, please bring at least as much as your family is going to eat.
VSSJ provides beverages, so please provide a food contribution. To
promote recycling (and save you money), VSSJ encourages you to bring your
own plate, cup, and utensils if possible (extra place settings will be
available). For safety reasons, children under 12 must be under
parental supervision at all times. Please make sure to check in when
you arrive.
* Vegetarian = No Meat, Fish, or Gelatin.
** Vegan = No Meat, Fish, Dairy, Eggs, Gelatin, or Honey.
Not sure what to bring? Easy options include: garden salad, fruit
salad, hummus with chips or crudités. For a list of recipe sites, visit
http://recipes.njveg.com. Write us at
thevssj@gmail.com for more suggestions.
For all VSSJ restaurant trips:
Reservations must be placed with VSSJ directly (not with the restaurant), at least 24
hours before the event. Out of fairness to the restaurant, cancellations are
requested at least 24 hours in advance. Please plan to pay in cash. When
we dine at non-vegetarian restaurants, only vegetarian dishes may be ordered.
