About us
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.

Escaping Homelessness: A Conversation With Robin Germaine (+games, free pizza!)
Free event! Everyone is welcome.
Bingo! Games! Prizes! Free pizza!
An enjoyable event with both fun and enlightenment about a important topic that affects everyone!
Robin Germaine is a member of the neighborhood group who you may have met at various neighborhood events. Whether or not you have met Robin, you may not know that she is a resource navigator who is using her experience and training to help people escape homelessness and poverty.
Everyone is invited to join Robin for a fascinating and meaningful evening learning about homelessness, poverty, and what her organization - Bridge of Faith - is doing to address these pressing community issues.
Robin has recently been featured in news stories, including this one:
Community Highlights: Meet Robin Germaine of bridgeoffaithL.L.C
Format: This will not be a lecture or speech. The format will be similar to other recent "conversation" events with fascinating community members. This will be a genuine conversation - an opportunity to talk with Robin and with other neighbors. This is a topic that Robin is passionate and knowledgeable about. It is also a topic that affects all of us in some way.
What to Bring: You do not need to bring anything. This event is not intended to be a full dinner. The venue host is providing pizza. Guests are very welcome to bring any type of food or snack to share, but that is optional.
