2024 Potluck in the Park

SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 2024

Neighbors enjoying their meals at the 2023 MWJN Potluck in the Park — *Potluck in the Park 2023*

Please come to our annual potluck in Cleland Park on June 15.

Bring Something to Share!

Meet Your Neighbors!

Have Some Fun!

WHAT YOU BRING:

If you’re not a cook you can bring a prepared dish, your favorite take out or a beverage. If you bring your own plates or utensils, please label them with your name and contact info so we can get them back to you.

WHAT WE BRING:

MWJN will provide tables, chairs, paper plates/cups/utensils, canopies and a portable toilet.

We try to supply compostable whenever possible. Please note we will have separate receptacles for trash, compostables and recyclables. These will work the same way our home black, green and blue cans work. If you’re unsure where something goes, ask someone at the food table.

A note about beverages: The Park does not allow alcoholic beverages but we will not be checking coffee cups.

WHAT IT COSTS

We do not charge for this event, but donations are gratefully accepted to offset our costs. We accept cash check or Venmo at the event or you can pay with a credit card or PayPal here.

Bring your whole family! Kids are welcome! Dogs must be on leash.

2023 Potluck in the Park 6/17/23

SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 2023

Please come to our favorite social event! Meet your neighbors! Have fun!

Bring a dish to share – if you’re not inclined to cook, consider your favorite take out. Please label any dishes or flatware you want back with your name and contact info.

The park does not allow alcoholic beverages, but we won’t be checking coffee cups.

Kids are more than welcome!

Dogs must be on leash.

We will provide paper plates/napkins/cups etc. Most of what we bring is compostable. We will have separate trash bins for trash (non-food disposables), compostable (food scraps, paper with food on it, etc. and recyclables (bottles, cans, cardboard, plastics with logo). It’s starting to sound confusing but really it’s just like what we’re doing with our colored bins at home.

COME HAVE FUN!!!!

Jessica Triangle Work Party Sunday 9/4/22

Jessica Triangle Work Party Sunday 9/4/22 8am – 10am

The Triangle is thirsty! Please come out to water, trim some dead branches, pull some weeds and help with general clean up. A neighbor kindly allows us to use his hose and water. Citywide, hand watering is allowed before 9am. Bring gloves and any tools you prefer. Its a nice way to meet some neighbors!

Jessica Triangle is the landmark at the intersection of Jessica Drive and Cleland Avenue. Beginning in the late 90′s, local residents helped transform the triangle from a litter-strewn patch of asphalt to a beautifully landscaped drought-tolerant pocket park, and neighbors have been maintaining it ever since. You can read about our involvement in maintaining it on our website.
