Annual Compassionate Thanksgiving Potluck Celebration

Join us once again for a vegan compassionate Thanksgiving Potluck and partake in this feast of thanks and bounty with fabulous prizes! PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

Doors open at 5:00. Entrance is by donation. Proceeds from this event will go to cover the hall rental and Meatless Meetup costs.

This is your chance to build community. This is a family-friendly event, so please bring your loved ones young and old, veg or non. Though many attendees may not be vegan, please be sure to bring a vegan dish, as this is an animal-friendly event.

Who says Thanksgiving can't be vegan? Let's show them by bringing mostly traditional Thanksgiving-y dishes, vegan style!

Please bring a vegan dish, cut and portioned for serving, with at least 8 servings (=8 big scoops). Vegan means no dairy, eggs, honey, gelatin, whey/casein, or other animal byproducts. Please bring an ingredients list for your dish.

You do not have to cook. Store-bought food is fine to bring, it just won't be eligible for a prize.

Also, please bring a plate, cup, napkin, and cutlery for yourself, and a serving utensil for your dish. (a bag for your dirty dishes would be useful, too)

Rough Schedule:
Volunteer Raffle Draw 5:10pm
Volunteers eat circa 5:30.
Buffet tables open to everyone, in order of table number circa 5:50.
Raffle draws throughout the evening
