Community Potluck Supper

The Yarker Colebrook and District Community Association invites you to the Community Potluck Supper on Sunday, April 18th at 6 pm in the basement of the Riverside United Church in Yarker. Please come to enjoy the community, to meet old friends and to make new ones, to hear recent community news and to share your views with others. Please take with you the recipe for the meal you are bringing - we are thinking about creating a Yarker, Colebrook and District Community Cookbook, based on community potlucks (there will be more of them in the future) to celebrate the diversity and the traditions of our great community.
Please help us to spread the word about this event. Talk to your friends and neighbours and tell them about it. Every new person you bring with you is important. Please feel free to bring your children with you. We have a volunteer teenager who will provide some games and other entertainment for little kids and other teenagers may help with that.

We are looking forward to seeing you all.
