General Meeting & Potluck

Grangers warmly welcome guests and visitors to our monthly general meeting. Come for social time starting at 5:30pm, followed by a potluck dinner, music, and an informative presentation.
Celebrating the bounty of Sonoma County, our meal offering will be a Hearty Vegetarian Soup prepared by Grangers.
Laura Shafer is leading a team of willing Grangers (thanks all who have stepped up already) in collecting garden produce and preparing soup for our communal supper.
We ask Grangers and guests to bring salads, favorite breads, or desserts to add to the Harvest potluck. Remember to bring your own soup bowl with all your table settings and festive tablecloths and decorations to add to our Harvest theme.
To help out earlier that day, or to contribute vegetables, contact Laura: laurashafer@pobox.com
