Take Chambers Street north until it turns into River Road. Turn left onto Elkay Drive (you’ll see River Rd. Medical Group on the left).Once on Elkay Drive:
1025 Elkay Drive is about 1/2 mile from River Road. Look for the big wooden fence with big black wrought iron gate. Park parallel to the fence in the grassy area outside the gate, not in the driveway. Come in through the gate (which may be hard to open), up the brick steps (watch out, they can be slippery when wet).Phone:

Bring a Dish
Please bring a Nourishing Traditions style dish and join us for some great food and great conversation! Families and guests are welcome. Please bring enough food to feed the size of your party, and your recipe on a 3×5 card or notepaper.
RSVP:
We appreciate an RSVP if you think you will be attending so that we have a rough idea of how many people to expect, but feel free to just show up.
Notes on Potlucks:
New to all of this?
For those of you who are new to The Weston A. Price Foundation principles please see the Dietary Guidelines and Characteristics of Traditional Diets for a brief overview, and then get a copy of the book Nourishing Traditions for in-depth information and recipes.
Don’t know what to bring?
See the above links for general guidelines about what is recommended by WAPF. Anything from Nourishing Traditions is wonderful, but don’t feel it has to be extensive or elaborate. A simple homemade meal made from scratch using natural fats would be a great contribution.
Concerned about cost?
The idea is to bring enough food to feed yourself and whoever else you bring. You do not need to bring enough food to feed 6-12 people unless you are bringing 6-12 people! The idea is for everyone to taste each dish and have enough food to feel satisfied. Yes, real food costs more than boxed/processed/artificial food. The savings are in your health and energy level and the benefit to the ecosystem.
Concerned about time?
Our potlucks are traditionally on Monday evenings. If you have work or school on Mondays, please feel free to make your dish on Sunday and bring it to the event to heat up or assemble if needed.
It is worth the effort!
Hopefully meeting new people who share a passion for good food, asking questions and learning from each other, will make it worth all your time and effort to get to the event.
Suggestions?
Let us know if you have suggestions to make these events more enjoyable.
