The potluck starts promptly at 6 p.m. at the Community Clubhouse with the program following around 7. You don't need to come to the potluck to join the program portion of the evening. These are free events, but we do sell raffle tickets to pay the rent of the clubhouse and speaker fees. The programs may be locally produced or a professional speaker or entertainer. All have something to do with an historical aspect of our region. Do you have an area of expertise or know someone who would be willing to share? Use the contact us button and we will be in touch.
