"The Potluck Club"

Organizer: Me & Vone
Members so far: Ringga & Chommany
Pending Members: Tang, Nicky, Kristine, Meho
Monthly Fee: $5.00 (still pending)

So basically we will gather once a month, and everybody will make or bring 1 dish and we will rotate the place where we will have it. If we have the potluck at my place this month we will do it at Vone's place next month and so on.

The monthly fee is basically a 'saving with no interest', once a month when we gather we will collect the fee and then we will withdraw name, whoever name comes out she will get the total amount. But once she get the money she won't be able to get any money till everybody get their name withdraw.

So.. wanna join? contact me or vone...

This idea is based on what we called 'Arisan' back in Indonesia

The Arisan System
The Arisan is generally known as a women’s “lottery club” popular in many parts of
Indonesia. Each week, often in the late afternoon, a group of women will
gather and contribute 1,000 rupiah (10 US cents) each. Each of the
participants names are written on a piece of paper which is rolled up and put in
a bottle. One name is drawn each week until all the members have won, at
which time the game ends and the participants decide whether or not to start the
next game. Each week, some lucky winner takes home between 20,000 and
100,000 Rupiah (3-11 dollars US). Each participant is required to
contribute 1,000 rupiah weekly until the game is over. Such events are
usually accompanied by tea and cakes, chatter and joking between the
women. It is a time to come together and enjoy each other’s company, catch
up on local news and gossip, with one lucky person winning the week’s
prize.
