I assume that most of you know the drill - bring a raw vegan dish to share - and if it is extra good, make enough for leftovers for the assistant organizer ;) . As there are different degrees of rawdom, e.g., some don't use namu shoyu, or the great debate over whether there is truly such a thing as raw agave, etc., it would be helpful to list the ingredients and your name on a 3 x 5 card or something like that to place near your dish. In addition, you may want to print several copies of the recipe to share with others.

So as not to put an undue burden on the host, please bring your own serving dishes and utensils if possible. In fact, it would be great if everyone would bring their own place settings. I will provide these things as necessary so as not to inhibit you from attending.

Last, I would like to suggest that we try to make this a "zero waste" event. Zero Waste is the latest thing in sustainability. What this means is avoid using any disposables, e.g., plates, cups, silverware, napkins. It is so much nicer to eat from a real plate, etc. Knowing that the food will be so delicious, it is unlikely that we will have any food waste, but just in case there will be a compost bin available.

We may also be showing a documentary related to raw food. If you have access to any, please let me know. We will vote at the potluck to decide which one to show. Democracy in action!
