The last carry-in organizer was 26, so that can't be it. Good effort, though.

Anytime there's a special occasion (someone retiring, returning from leave, etc.) they send out an email to have a - I swear this is true - carry-in. Can't believe no one else has heard of it. Everybody brings on something. Usually I buy donutes so nothing has to be cooked.
I've heard carry-in my whole life and it's the term I use. It's the same as potluck. A carry-in dinner. I think it's a church term more than anything.

Yeah I've never heard that either. We always call it pot luck, as in you'll be lucky if you dont get food poisoning.
