11/16/18 – UPDATE
Hi all –
Out of precaution, we have decided to cancel this event due to the local norovirus outbreak. We have not re-scheduled, but please check for upcoming events. We encourage you to donate your ticket refunds to the North Valley Animal Disaster Group at nvadg.org. All tickets have been refunded.

Please buy your ticket early; space is limited.

NEW!! If you are financially challenged, we will reimburse you for your food costs for up to $20. Please send an email to chicovegan@gmail.com for more information. If you are a Camp Fire victim, you do not need to bring anything, but please do register in advance so we can have a head count.
Children welcome!
This space is wheelchair accessible.
A few potluck rules, so everyone can enjoy the food:
Please bring at least 8-10 servings of a Thanksgiving-themed food dish – stuffing, green bean casserole, entrees like Tofurky, Gardein, Field Roast, salad, mashed potatoes, gravy, etc. – see recipe links below.
Bring a serving utensil for that dish.
Soup is not a good potluck item to bring, as we have no bowls.
Of course, the item must be vegan (no animal products of any kind — so please be careful with ingredients like honey, casein, whey or egg whites). If you have questions, please comment below or message the organizers.
If you’re making a dish from scratch, please bring the recipe or a list of the ingredients to place with the item.
If you’re bringing a store-bought item, please bring the package.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ARRIVE ON TIME.
