| Each month, except July and August, the Obsidians get together for a potluck supper, followed by social or educational activities, often a slideshow presentation, featuring matters of interest to Obsidians and guests such as travel, outdoor activities or conservation. |
FRIDAY
|
 |
|
You are cordially invited to attend our Potlucks. You do not have to be a member of the Obsidians to attend. You need only to bring your interest in the topic and your willingness to enjoy meeting and socializing with people in a lodge nestled among the trees. We provide the tables and chairs, napkins and beverages, a roaring fire and a wonderful speaker and slides. All are welcome. Potlucks are normally held the fourth Friday of each month, but are sometimes the third Friday to avoid holidays. There are no Potlucks in July and August. They begin at 6:30 p.m. at our lodge. The entertainment usually begins about 7:30. You will need to bring your table service of a plate, utensils and cup. We will provide a napkin and food. Bring your favorite potluck item from one of the major food groups. A salad, a bread, a casserole or perhaps you can add to our dessert fame. The food is always varied, nourishing and grand . . . we are famous for our dessert table! To help with utilities and other expenses of the dinner and presentation, there is a $1 per person fee. Directions to lodge.
