Potlucks With a Purpose

Sunday, November 14,  2010 12:30-3:00 p.m.

Everett United Church of Christ at Rockefeller and Everett Avenue

A Zero Waste Event

Potlucks with a Purpose brings people together from all over our community to share good food, fun and conversation along with a free movie to stimulate our thoughts and discussion. Sustainability is our theme. Second Sunday of the month.

Bring a dish that serves about 6 and your own utensils and plate. If your food is local, so much the better! (And remember, if you do not bring your place setting, you will need to use disposable plates and cups and utensils – not good for the environment!)

Some of us receive food from Klesick Farm. Some of us are interested in knowing more about where our food comes from and how we can eat locally, organically, or just eat more healthy foods. Does it make a difference? How do local farmers get food to us – is it possible to eat locally all year round?

Come and hear Tristan Klesick speak to us about local farming and the different ways we can eat locally in the Everett, Port Gardner area.

This is the day the Lord has made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it!
