THE NEXT MONTHLY POTLUCK WILL BE SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 15TH!!
YOU are invited!
You do not have to be a member of the Time Bank in order to come, but you are welcome to join! It is FREE!
We will gather together for a relaxing game night! Bring your favorite board game and find others who can play!
The potluck will start about 6:30. Most people arrive around 6:15 to talk and greet each other! We will gather at the First UU (93 W Weisheimer Rd, Columbus, OH 43214).
Yes! Bring a dish to share if you can -we love to "break bread" together! Since we have such a wide range of dietary restrictions, if you can, write out a simple list of the ingredients in your dish, that would be great!
We will have a “Sharing” table! Bring a gently used item for others to take, browse to see if there’s something you would like.
We are asking for people to bring EVERYTHING needed for the potluck for themselves.
Earn Extra Time Bank Hours at the Potluck in 4 options:
+YES, YOU GET TIME CREDITS FOR SIMPLY COMING OUT AND BUILDING COMMUNITY!
+Be our event photographer! Snap some photos during the gathering to help us share the spirit of community on our social media and in our emails. You’ll earn one Time Bank Credit for your help — and our heartfelt thanks!
+Come at 6 to help set-up! People are invited to arrive at 6pm to help us set up for the potluck. You don’t have to do anything physically strenuous, just help us get ready! Earn a Time Bank Credit for joining us for set-up or post-potluck cleanup.
+We are also working on carpooling to the potlucks! If a person can carpool as a driver, they can earn a Time Bank Credit for helping others! If you are interested in carpooling, please contact csgeneral27@gmail.com. If you need a ride, also write to csgeneral27@gmail.com
Write csgeneral27@gmail.com if you have any questions!
