March "First Friday" Potluck

building community, one great meal at a time

This Friday night, April 1st, 6:30pm 

Healing Matrix, 632 E. Main St.

Don't miss out on our great potluck get together

As we do every month, Sustainable Cottage Grove hosts a monthly potluck so that we can all get together and socialize over a great meal. 

Please join us FRIDAY NIGHT for our April potluck dinner. 

Bring a friend, a healthy dish to share, dinnerware, and plenty of conversation. We always have a great time, so be sure to join us. Everyone is welcome to attend. 

Feel free to tell a friend and invite them to join us as well.

Please contact Rob Dickinson (541-543-5735 / ro...@pobox.com) if you have any questions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some of the folks that attend out potlucks (and some who don't, but would like to attend) have let us know that it can be challenging for those who have food allergies or dietary restrictions because the dishes aren't well labeled.  It's not a requirement, but it would be a big help if you label your dish in any ways that would be informative to others, including labels like "vegetarian", "vegan", "gluten free", "dairy free", or "has meat", or "has nuts", or "made with wheat", etc.  Whatever you think might be useful to other guests.

Drift: A Community Seeking Justice

Drift was created in the Winter of 2015 by students enrolled in the Environmental Leadership Program at the University of Oregon in collaboration with residents of Gold Beach, Oregon.  

Behind the Emerald Curtain

Massive clear cuts sprayed with toxic chemicals are common place along Oregon’s iconic coast: Chronicled are how drinking water sources have been compromised and some of the last wild salmon strongholds threatened while corporate timber giants take advantage of out of date forestry laws to make record profits. Behind the Emerald Curtain is a Pacific Rivers production.

This event is free and open to the public.
