VegKC is hosting our first formal board game night!
Come join us to play a variety of board games while enjoying some tasty vegan appetizers or finger foods, potluck style.
Bring a tasty vegan appetizer / snack / or dessert and optionally drinks (non-alcoholic) at about 1:00 pm. If you have a recipe you want to try, know how to make, or something else that intrigues you - feel free. If you aren't comfortable in the kitchen, you can always pickup something to bring. This won't be a formal meal, just assorted light snacks to keep us playing.
We expect to be playing board games most of the day, if you can't make it near the start time, the timing is flexible, but please give us a heads up and you might have to wait for the next game to start.
Please read the full event details before RSVP'ing!
We will start this event earlier than usual to allow for time to finish a couple of games or a longer game. Depending on the group size we may split into a couple of smaller groups to play multiple games or play a bigger game together.
For privacy the venue address isn't listed publicly, please email one of the hosts via Meetup 2-3 days before the event, for the address and directions.

WHERE IS IT?
The potluck is at "Dragon's Cozy Cave". There is limited table seating, assorted couches and chairs, benches, cushions, and plenty of space to sprawl around casually and visit. We may setup an extra table or two if needed.
This is a private residence, so please be respectful of the space so that we may continue to host future events here!
This space is home to a clowder of kitties, so please be mindful coming in and closing the door to keep our furry friends safe. We do have hardwood floors which helps if you have allergies.
