As we finally pack away our winter clothes, it's time to have an outdoor event. So, you are invited to join us for a potluck picnic lunch at Burrows Park on Lake Mendota.

In addition to some food, feel free to bring along a football, frisbee, croquet set, radio, or other picnic-friendly item.


Special Note: Turtle Island Foods, makers of a variety of delicious vegan foods, are donating a case of Tofurky Brats for our event!

We are very appreciative of their support of our group.

Cost: Free

Food: When you RSVP, please note either the specific food you will bring or a general description (main dish, salad, drinks, dessert, etc.). Even if you are not vegan, please make sure the food you bring is. That way everyone can eat everything. But since some people may have additional dietary restrictions please also bring a card that lists the ingredients used. It's ok to bring something simple. This isn't a competition.

Vegan Recipes: Some good sites that include vegan recipes are VegCooking.com, Vegetarian Times, VegWeb.com, and Low Budget Vegetarian.

Utensils: Please bring along anything that's required for serving the food you bring. I will provide plates, cups, forks, knives, spoons, and napkins.

Kids: Kids are welcome to attend.

Weather/Shelter: We will meet rain or shine. There's a large shelter at Burrows Park. If it's not reserved its use is first-come first-serve. If it's raining there shouldn't be much competition for it, and if it's not raining it won't be a big deal not to have it.

      “ A beautiful event on a beautiful day. I always wish there had been more time and my wife and I could have talked to everyone, as next to the food and maybe even as a tie, this is what we come for. ”
