~ For December 25, 2008 potluck, click HERE!
Date/Time:
Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 2007
Doors open at 12:00 PM
(I might be there earlier, feel free to contact me)
Early Meal begins at 2:00 PM
Late Meal begins at 6:00 PM
You are welcome to visit anytime - stay a few minutes or spend the whole day!
If anyone is interested in hosting/leading yoga, etc. in the morning, please contact me! (jeff at thenaughtyvegan.com)
PLEASE NOTE: As the Cascade People's Center is loosing their financial support from the City, this may be the last raw event at the Center.
There will be two meal times: 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM, so people planning to visit family and/or friends for a Thanksgiving meal can still attend a vegan raw food potluck for vibrant healthful meal with our raw foods community! Newcomers are welcome, as are people of all ages (and diets/lifestyles.) Just be sure to bring some raw vegan organic food, an appetite, and make sure the little ones are well-behaved!
In the past, the Center has had a foosball table (table soccer), so bring your agility and talents for some fun competition. Sorry, not more foosball table!
Feel free to bring board games for some social game playing.
I will bring papers for playing "What If..."
Pumpkin Pie Contest:
