TGIF Potluck Guidelines 

Most of our Club activities involve getting a good workout and building up a sweat.  The weekly TGIF/Potluck gatherings provide an opportunity to relax and socialize in an informal and relaxed setting.   We are fortunate to have many members generously open their homes to the Club. To be mindful of our hosts’ generosity and to manage our guests’ expectations, we’ve devised the following guidelines:

• Please bring a dish large enough to share with 8-10 people along with serving utensils and serving dish. Feel free to mark your name on both.
  
• Please BYO beverages. Remember to take home the bottles/cans that you brought.
  
• If host requests, please bring your own chairs to summer TGIF home events as often there may be seating outside.
  
• Each host maintains the right to limit the number of attendees. Please be aware that the event may list a maximum number of guests and will require your RSVP in advance.  You will be notified whether your RSVP has been accepted.  We kindly ask if you did not have your RSVP accepted to please not attend.  Some people just do not have large enough homes to accommodate everyone.
  
• Please arrive and leave within the scheduled event times from 6-8:00pm. 
  
• To ensure that Club members continue to open their homes to our Club members, we maintain an honor code that asks you to immediately notify the host if you caused any damage to the premises, including if you spill any food or beverage. This will allow the host an opportunity to take swift and appropriate steps to clean the affected area to their satisfaction.

TGIF Restaurant Guidelines

• To ensure Club members are welcome at restaurants and bars, Club members are encouraged to spend appropriate time enjoying their food and drinks so these businesses can cover the cost of any additional staff on hand to serve us.
  
• Please pay for your own drinks and food.  On occasion, management might serve complimentary appetizers, but please do not “expect” this.  Because it is difficult for these establishments to run individual tabs for so many, PCMSC members are encouraged to tip generously.
