It's perfect weather for a potluck! Bring a vegan dish of your choice (please post what you plan to bring below so that we have a good variety of food). If you can label your ingredients for those with allergies, it would be much appreciated. Feel free to ask for helpful links if you need ideas for what to bring. No meat, dairy or eggs please. I will try to have paper plates and utensils, but would also be helpful to bring your own set. We can eat on the porch if the weather's nice. Also I don't have much seating, so bring a chair or two if you have one! BYOB if you're of age.

This April, as part of The Grove Dallas’ Sustainability Month, join Grove community members for an afternoon of stories and ideas on how we can not only sustain the lives of future generations, but also make our city and the planet a better place.

Come for the inspiration, stay for the food, drinks, and passionate people!
