NW VEG Westside Potluck
Feb 15
NW VEG Westside Potluck

Dietitian and endurance athlete Matt Ruscigno, originally scheduled to present at this potluck, had to cancel his plan to present live in Portland on this day, so his talk will be rescheduled. We will seek another presenter for this program following our potluck.

Come meet our friendly group at our regularly-scheduled Westside potluck. For the potluck, please bring a plant-based (no meat, eggs, dairy, honey, or other animal products) main dish, salad, or dessert; a card listing its ingredients; and plates and utensils for your use. If you come alone, figure the amount to serve 4-6; increase the amount 4 servings for each additional person in your party/family. We will have a program, TBD, starting at 6:15 following the potluck.

Location: WHUUF, 8470 SW Oleson Road, Portland
