Hello,
Do we have a venue for a potluck? January is quickly going to become February... How would Saturday afternoon into evening be for people?
Our house is better for warmer weather partly outdoor gatherings...any hosts available?
Comment by Prices on December 13, 2011 at 8:38pm I am also very interested in being there, as I haven't been able to make it out so far!
Comment by stacy bestard on December 11, 2011 at 1:58pm January potluck sounds great...I will be there.
I'm in too (even though I'm 'techinally' Grandview Woodland). After dark would be better for me - which shouldn't be tooo hard since its dark most of the time now. Also, I suggest to anyone who doesn't see enough 'action' in their own VV neighborhood, to join your neighboring neighborhoods! I belong to 3!
Comment by Brennan Wauters on December 9, 2011 at 11:10am Hey folks from Hastings Sunrise - you're welcome to come to our holiday party this Saturday night. We'll be cooking on our rocket stoves so you can see them working. We'll have two of them running. If you are connected by facebook, take a look at the invite: http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/126138800829287/
Feel free to bring drinks and food. We're mostly a vegitarian/vegan house. B.
Comment by Geoffrey Haynes on December 9, 2011 at 10:02am Count me in for a potluck in January. Even if there's 3 or 4 of us, it's a great start.
That is a great idea. I have been talking to people and it seems like a January Potluck would be perfect for us all to meet and get to know each other. Count me in. Sunday afternoon is good, as long as it isn't the second Sunday as we have a regular Permaculture meeting out at Terra Nova from 2-4. Everyone is welcome there by the way and feel free to contact me for a ride. I have 3 seats extra and we generally go straight there and back from east van. Also I heard the benches are ready for the Pender and Penticton Mini Park. There is still room there for 2 more beds, but in this case it is build your own try to make it similar to the ones already there... There is some soil on the parking lot. If anyone gets a bed built, I would be happy to help preparing the soil.
We have attempted a couple of meet-ups of this group last spring and winter, but weren't met with very good results. A few people came out each time, but there was a general reticence by people to take on organizing this group into something face to face. (This is not a complaint, but people feel strapped for time was the impression I've gotten the few times we attempted to organize meet-ups - and I don't have the time or energy to do much beyond organizing the occasional meet-up).
Since that time a number of new people have joined this group and a few people recently have suggested meeting up - so perhaps it's time to try again? I would suggest that we attempt something in the new year, a Sunday afternoon potluck? We could book Kiawassa Neighbourhood House which is a good venue with a kitchen. If there is positive feedback here for that, I can explore dates and see about booking something.
Comment by Geoffrey Haynes on December 7, 2011 at 10:28pm Hi Jill. Just joined this group. As you know I'm up for whatever you have - as long as it fits in with my schedule. Weekends are best for me.

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
