HOEDOWN AND POTLUCK
🌾 FRIDAY 9/29
🥘 Potluck 5-6pm
🎻 Dancing 6pm
If you can please bring a LABELED dish to share. We have students with severe nut allergies
and want to keep everybody safe and healthy please label ALL FOOD DISHES
Keeping in sync with our values we ask each family to please bring their own plates and
utensils. This may seem like a big ask, but it is extremely important we do not create a lot of
trash using one-time plastics at gatherings and festivals. Throughout your journey at VCS, you
will be asked to bring your own dishes, so investing in plates that can be brought to these events
is worthwhile. We suggest checking your local thrift store, using old dishes that have/could be
chipped, or using your camping sets.
WE CAN USE some help preparing for this fun event, so please see if you can help in any way.
