The menus for the weekend will consist of mostly vegetarian dishes (largely ovo-lacto, not vegan; we will have luncheon meats for sandwiches and a few of the pizzas on Friday night may have meat). We have tried to anticipate food allergies and restrictions in menu planning. We are buying some commercially prepared items – i.e., breads, muffins, chips, dressings, salsas, dips, etc. – that may contain ingredients we are uncertain of. Check with the various food czars if you have serious allergies. Don't assume that all items on the menu are safe for you.
If these menus do not address your specific food needs, let us know and we'll make an effort to accommodate you. In any case, be sure that your team's squire reports your food restrictions to the Invitation Czar, Julia Wittner. However, use your own judgment if you need to provide your own food to supplement what we are able to provide.
