Our group includes about a dozen residents in Collinwood who care passionately about the quality of life of our neighborhood and have identified this potluck as a way we can bring different and new people together to celebrate each other (over great food!).  More than ever, there is a renewed sense that ‘North’ and ‘South’ Collinwood should be dropped and that the emphasis should be on ONE community – Collinwood – working together for equity across all areas of the neighborhood. The goal of the Potluck is to bring together people from all over Collinwood to a free event with just enough structure (Common Ground conversation tables) and activity (cooking demonstrations, yard games) to attract people but also make it a relaxing afternoon to enjoy the neighborhood’s greatest assets: its people! We all know that good conversation and friendships are made even better over a plate of good, local food and are taking the opportunity to imbed some education about recycling and composting but holding this Potluck as a ‘Zero Waste’ event! Any resident is welcomed on our planning committee.
