  I could've interpreted wrong, but it sounds like she's using the class potluck she signed up to host as a segway to her kid's bday party. Thats kinda weird, IMO, considering now every parent of each classmate will feel obligated to buy her kid a gift.

  That's exactly what she's doing. @MrsT0514‌

  that sounds a bit AWish/gift-grabby. What if there are some kids that was to go to the class potluck but not her kid's bday party? Meh. I vote no gift.

  Who's in charge or the volunteer activities? I don't see how she'd be allowed to do that? That's just odd. But to answer your question no I wouldn't take a gift. I wouldn't even want to take dish for the pot luck. She's basically having other parents cater her kids party.

  I don't think she should even be allowed to have the potluck double as her own kid's birthday party.
  
  I would not bring a gift. I don't think I would even go.

  I guess I'll be the odd one out. I don't have a problem with the idea. "Celebrating birthday" at the fall potluck doesn't mean the same as a full on birthday party. They might not be planning anything more than having cupcakes for the kids to acknowledge the birthday.
  
  As far as the gift goes, it's up to your judgement. I probably wouldn't since you aren't being invited there for a birthday party. You are invited to the potluck where the parents have chosen to also celebrate a birthday. To me these things are very different.

  Yeah, she's trying to get volunteer hours for her kid's party. Not cool and no gift.
