THE NEXT MONTHLY POTLUCK WILL BE SEPTEMBER 21!
YOU are invited!
You don't have to be a member of the Time Bank in order to come, but you are welcome to join! It's FREE!
This potluck will be a social, informal gathering. Many people have been asking questions about the software -how to add pictures, what to say in a “bio”, how to find someone, etc, so we will have a combination game night and “getting active in the CSTB” night!
Haven't been to a potluck yet? PERFECT! Come have your questions answered or enjoy a relaxing game night! Have you been to a hundred potlucks already? PERFECT! Come out and enjoy a game night and help answer questions!
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) for a potluck!
Bring a dish to share if you can. Since we have such a wide range of dietary restrictions, please write out a simple list of the ingredients in your dish
We will have an OPTIONAL “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: your table settings, cup, etc!
Yes, you earn time credits for coming out and building community! And you can earn more credits for coming early at 6pm to help us set up for the potluck. Do you want to help more and earn credits? Write csgeneral27@gmail.com
