11:00 AM - 12:00 PM	50+ Club- Monthly Summer Potluck Luncheons - June Potluck-- National Cheese Day After the success of our Pi Day celebration in March, I decided that one potluck simply wasn’t enough. So, this summer, we’re bringing people together once a month for a themed Potluck Luncheon! Each gathering will feature a different fun theme, giving everyone the chance to show-off their favorite recipes, family classics, Pinterest experiments, or “I bought this at the Hannaford and transferred it to a nicer plate” specialties. No judgements here. These relaxed monthly socials are all about: sharing good food, meeting new friends, enjoying conversation, laughing way too loudly, and possibly leaving with at least one new recipe. They are also a great alternative for those mystery meal lovers who can never snag a spot before the bus fills up in 0.3 seconds. Whether you cook, bake, or just excel at bringing your appetite, we’d love to have you join us around the table this summer!
