Crock Pot Day- October 16, 2012

Get out your slow cooker! Throw in the ingredients for your favorite recipe and send it to DCOM for all the medical students to enjoy. (Please don't send raw ingredients that will hurt someone if they sneak a taste before the 11:00 starting time though.)

There will be a table set up in the 2nd floor lounge. Have your crock pot to school by 11:00. The table will be ready early in case you want to send your cooker to school with your student that morning. You can just pick up your crock pot when you com...

e to the general meeting that night.

Please post a comment on our facebook page with what you are bringing, so we don't end up with 14 pots of chili. :-) You can send in appetizers, soups, entrees, desserts, whatever you want.

These items will be provided: power strips, plates, bowls, spoons, forks, napkins. You will need to provide your own serving spoon (labeled with your name).

We will also have a table set up for taking orders for t-shirts and Christmas ornaments from 12:00-1:00. Let us know if you would like to volunteer at the table.
