**WHAT WILL WE DO?**
For November, we will be celebrating with a Thanksgiving/Fall Holiday-themed vegan potluck! Following up the festivities with a board game night to extend our veg\*n family time.

This will be a relaxed, casual gathering focused around sharing a delicious meal together. We usually dig in after about 30-60 minutes, or sooner if there are appetizers! In the meantime everyone can settle in to enjoy some good conversation and leisurely visit.

Later we will break out the board games, a movie, and/or Mario Kart, depending on the crowd and the mood...

We have a fair collection of board games available to play. Think: Concordia, Ticket to Ride, Dominion, Journeys to Middle Earth, Quarriors, Avalon, Dixit, Terra Nova, 7 Wonders, DorfRomantik... and more.

1. **Yourself!** Friends and family are welcome. This is a **kid-friendly, alcohol-free** event (as are most VegKC gatherings).
