Member Only Holiday Potluck
This month's meeting is our annual holiday gathering. We'll also open a Zoom session so members who cannot attend in person can still enjoy time with friends. We won't have a featured speaker and all club services will be closed. But we will provide a brief Annual Report and Monthly Sky Report. Please join us for a relaxing evening hanging out and sharing a little food or conversation with friends.
We encourage members to bring their favorite dish or dessert. The club will be providing drinks, plates, cups, and utensils as well as pizzas to supplement what everyone brings. Power will not be available, which means that we will not be able to warm or cook dishes there. If there is a drink that you greatly prefer, please consider bringing some for your own consumption.
We expect everyone to be responsible for everything they bring. Please make sure that your dish is cleaned up before leaving. We also need to clean the tables after the potluck. So, please consider staying to help out at the end of the event.
RCA will not be collecting food and clothes before the potluck. This year, we strongly encourage RCA members to donate to the Oregon Food Bank online. Together we can build community connections to help people access nutritious, affordable food today, and build community power to eliminate the root causes of hunger for good.
Reminder:
There will be no club services available.
Join us at noon on the first Fridays of every month for good conversation and good food! All members are welcome!
Signing up for Downtowners is no longer by RSVP. Watch for the announcement that goes out to all members about one week before the date. It will include a link to the registration form. We are limited to 20 attendees so be sure to register right away if you want to attend. Check your spam folder if you don't see a message from us in your personal email.
