What we’re about

This is a group of neighbors who regularly get together for potluck dinners and other events.

Anybody who lives in Tempe (and bordering neighborhoods) is welcome to join.

These free events are usually held in private homes. But not always. For example, we met at Bosa Donuts for a potluck dinner on National Doughnut Day. Sometimes events are held in public places such as parks, event venues, apartment building commons areas, restaurants, city-owned facilities, synagogues, mosques, churches, etc.

Each month there is one big "anchor event." We encourage EVERYONE to come to the anchor events.

This is a neighborhood initiative, not affiliated with any government, church, business, etc. Just neighbors who enjoy meeting new people and sharing meals.

The number of people at each event varies, depending on if it is a neighborhood-specific (or block-specific) event, or a general event.

Many of our events are potlucks, but not all. Individual members of the group schedule some non-potluck events, such as dinners/lunches/breakfasts at restaurants, book club, birthday parties, watch parties, sports, etc.

One group member taught an "introduction to pickleball" class. After she did that for multiple sessions, we added free weekly indoor pickleball to our calendar.

Everybody in the group is welcome to plan and schedule events. We like to support each other and help each other achieve their goals and dreams by coming together.
