SPUD Patrol, Feb 4
Sangha members are invited to take part in an event organized monthly by an organization called SPUD Patrol. You can bake potatoes at home and bring them (warm, wrapped in foil, plus separately fixings such as butter and sour cream, greatly needed) down to one block west of Main on Hastings (north side of the street) where tables are set up to distribute them to the homeless and hungry.
When: Saturday, February 4
Where: 1 block west of Main on Hastings Street, in front of the community garden

Note: The next SPUD Patrol will be Saturday, March 10
This is a wonderful opportunity to practice generosity.
Potluck Dinners
We are hoping to set up periodic potluck dinners with a little "twist". In order to mix things up we'd like to get groups of 8 or so people together based on the area of the city we live in and hopefully some of those groupings would be with those people we don't know so well. This is a lovely opportunity to build connections with each other outside our sitting groups.
The potlucks could rotate amongst members homes and people could share responsibility for picking a date and letting people know.
I'm willing to get the list of members set up, so let me know if you're interested and what area you live in (e.g. Kits, Eastside). Also, please let me know if you are willing to host. Contact Karen at 604.565.0379 or by email.
