POT LUCK RECRUITMENT TIME
Taken from the Mankato Area Lifelong Learners summer 2008
newsletter.
In August, the pot lock groups had their semi-annual all-group
meeting. At that time, new groups of eight were formed. The groups
are open to couples or pairs of singles. They offer a great opportunity
to interact with others while enjoying delicious meals. The cooking
is non-competitive – just plain, wholesome food. The fun
is in the opportunity to meet new people and engage in often lively
conversation. The groups meet on a four month schedule with each
“couple” hosting one dinner. The hosts provide the
main dish. The others bring a salad, dessert or vegetable which
are assigned and rotated over the course of the four dinners.
Semi-annually, all the groups meet together. Everyone brings a
main dish or salad to pass. At these meetings the new groups are
announced by the three member, voluntary pot luck committee. The
members meet with their new groups and set up their next four
month schedule. Schedules are fairly flexible. Snowbirds who are
gone from January through March can be accommodated.
