Potluck Dinner
in thanks for The Peace Offering (TPO)
(as of Aug. 24)
BASIC INFO:
Date: Tuesday Sept. 16
Time: 5:30pm until ???
Location will either be at a park, or at TPO (to be determined)
This notice here: Maybe not most up to date info! (last updated Aug 24). Maybe will be replaced by something through TPO (maybe not!). Check with instructors or classmates to see if more current info. This is just to get something online somewhere for people to share so people can save the date.
Pass it on/save the date: Let others (instructors, students, members) know about this asap, so they don’t plan something else for that evening! Take a picture of this notice, and pass it on!

MORE DETAILS:
Why: Grateful celebration of TPO, its owners, staff, community and space. Socializing with each other. Instructors can share what they have going on next, post-TPO. Fun. Food. End of summer (almost equinox!). Why not?
Where: If TPO space is available for this gathering, it’ll probably be in there (seems apropos). If not TPO, then likely Truckee River Regional Park at one of the lawns down by the river.
The Haps: Start with setting out food and eating it!
After a little while, we gather up and have a few words …. Instructors can tell where to find them next. People can tell anything else they have going on that’s good or fun for community. People can say any needs they’re seeking help with. Whatever else. And a toast!
Maybe people bring music instruments if anyone wants to drum, jam, whatever after dinner … Or if anybody wants to play/perform, that could be great, too :)
Weather: In case this happens at Regional Park next to river, Truckee weather report for Sept. 16 (as of Aug. 24, FWIW), says high of 83 that day (which is still end-o-summer river dipping/swimming weather :)
Food/Beverages: Anyone have somewhere/way for people to post what food or drink they’re bringing, so we don’t end up with too much of any food/s? Not everyone is on FB (and many people trying to be there less), so that’s why I’m not doing a FB event/group for this.
Bring: Food and serving utensils for whatever dish you bring (not necessary, see below). Plate/bowl/cup/cutlery/napkins for yourself. Table to set food/drink on. Chairs/blankets to sit on. Info written/printed for what you want to share, for people to write down or take picture of. Musical instruments, (just in case). Extra container to take home leftovers from others (if there are any)
If you don’t have the time, bandwidth, money, idea or whatever for bringing food, don’t sweat it. I’ve never been to a potluck where there wasn’t enough food for the few who didn’t bring anything. Nobody should avoid coming because they didn’t bring food.
Invitees: I know this is a celebration of TPO and community ….. but I say invite some of your friends or family if you want. I’d say all good vibers welcome (then again, I’ve always been known to over-invite – so if we’d rather just keep it TPO peeps +1 type of thing, I could be fine with that.)
Improve or relocate this notice: If anybody else wants to do a better job presenting this info, (or updating it if needed), or has a better place to share/present this - feel free!
