Food Allergies and potlucks.
Last year I noticed there were a few of us with food allergies who wished there was more at the potlucks for us to safely eat.
I am proposing we all get together and coordinate some dishes safe for food allergies and label them so we know which ones are which (or maybe the coordinator will give us a space on the table JUST for non-allergy foods).
Once we get together we can decide how we wish to proceed.

Amendment to post:
If u wish to label your dish, that is fine. We will not be asking anyone to label their dishes... it would cause too much trouble.
If you are not sure if something is safe to eat, pass it by...or bring food just for you so you can at least eat with everyone else.
Again we can ask for a space on the buffet for dishes that are labeled for allergies, otherwise, things will be as usual.
You can come find me at the rally if you wish to discuss this further or if you have any ideas.
I was originally just looking for a show of hands of how many people would like allergy considerations. I know last year there were 4 or 5 people and they got together and planned dishes they could all enjoy and had a special place on the table so they knew where to go.
