This is a VEGAN potluck, so please bring a Vegan, or Raw Vegan dish, to share with others. Also, in an attempt to cut down on costs/waste, this is a "green" event, so please bring your own plate, utensils, and drinking cup.(Water, ice tea, decaffeinated tea will be provided.) Also, if you could list the ingredients of your dish, that would be helpful to people with allergy issues.

Phoenix West Valley Plant-Based Potluck | Lifestyle Changers - The World's Best RAW Food Potluck with Guest Speaker in Gilbert!Natural Grocers, Gilbert, AZ
Join us and this month's guest speaker at Natural Grocers in Gilbert on Saturday, September 20, starting at 5:30pm; to experience the grandeur, the spectacle, the wonder of the world's most succulent and tantalizing foods. Discover new and creative dishes, consisting of savory and satisfying flavors, from foodstuffs found only in Nature. Get Real. Have Fun. Enjoy Life. And Living Foods! Hosted by MaryAnn. (NOTE: This is a potluck, so please bring a RAW Vegan dish [to feed 8-10 people] and bring your own plate, utensils, and drinking cup [and take them with you afterwards].)
Socializing begins around 5:30pm, and food at about 5:45pm. Please bring a vegan raw food dish (veggies/nuts, herbs/spices, salt, olive oil are generally acceptable ingredients for dishes), or a salad (fruits, veggies, nuts, spices), or a fruit/veggie platter for six (or more) people. Don't know what to bring? There are literally 4.63 gazillion recipes on the Internet. Type in the words: "Raw Food Recipes" with a search and see what happens!
Here are photos from some past RAW potlucks to get an idea what to expect: https://www.meetup.com/VEGphx/photos/30455697

https://www.meetup.com/VEGphx/photos/29908480/Also, be advised that this is a RAW-Vegan potluck. For those not familiar with "raw," that generally means no foodstuffs that have been heavily processed/heated/cooked. In other words, "raw" typically entails foodstuffs as Nature intended (e.g., fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts/seeds, sprouts) which have all their nutrients intact, and not cooked out of existence, nor processed into oblivion. Most manufactured/canned/bottled/packaged foods, such as popcorn, chips, Veganaise, etc. are typically not "raw"; though, cold-pressed olive oil, raw coconut aminos, raw agave, spices, and salt are generally-acceptable exceptions to the non-packaging precept. For those not familiar with the term "vegan," that generally means free from animal products and their derivatives. This includes all dairy products, honey, and whey.
If, on the off chance that someone new attends this event, and is unfamiliar with the RAW-Vegan parameter of the event, please be in keeping with the longstanding tradition of the leadership and members of VEGphx to be accepting/understanding (in the moment) of all people, their current level of awareness, and their own individual paths in life. This means that if there is a particular potluck item that is not entirely "raw" and not entirely "vegan," do your part (in a calm and loving way) to help make sure that this item is clearly labeled as such, and let the participants at the event decide for themselves whether or not to indulge in it.
Conversely, there is never an occasion at any VEGphx Food-sponsored event for emotional outbursts or hostilities shown toward any of the participants at any event on the part of our members. Please leave all emotional baggage at the entrance of this event, and do your part to not embarrass yourself or VEGphx (as group) with any childish behavior. Love is the most important ingredient in any type of recipe.
