👫 WHAT WILL WE DO? 🎨 For November, we will be enjoying a fall holiday themed potluck, so bring your favorite fall dish and come hang out!

Our periodic potlucks are relaxed, casual gatherings focused around sharing a delicious meal and conversation.

• Usually held on the fourth Saturday of a given month.

• We usually dig in after about 30-60 minutes

• Or sooner if there are appetizers!

• Expect to settle in, enjoy some good conversation and visit leisurely.

We may follow dinner up with a board game, a jigsaw puzzle, a movie, or something like Mario Kart, depending on the crowd and conversation...

🍲 WHAT DO I BRING?

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

• A vegan dish (appetizer, main, side, or dessert) that serves about 8 people. One dish per 1–2 guests, including yourself.

💬 Comment here with the dish you plan to bring. 🌱 All dishes must be strictly vegan (no dairy, eggs, honey, or animal products of any kind). 💡 A few helpful vegan recipe sites - Gaz Oakley, The Minimalist Baker, or Nora Cooks. 🍴 Serving utensils (if needed). 📖 List of ingredients or a recipe link (great for allergies and curious cooks)

• Optional, helpful, fun, or nice to haves:

☕ Beverage for yourself or to share. 🎲 A favorite board game (we have a few fun games).

✓ We have an electric hot water kettle with teas available. ✓ We have enough dishes and utensils for about 25 people. ✓ There may be an induction burner available for heating, there usually isn't fridge space. 🧽 Cleanup: please rinse your dish and put it in the dishwasher, help keep things neat if you can.
