It's cozy season! Rather than being out in the rain solo, come be warmed by community at our October Dogwood dinner!

On the last Thursday of each month, we host Dogwood dinners from 5:30-7 pm. Over the summer, we built community with watermelon and cool drinks. With the cool weather coming, we're moving inside.

It may be too easy to say that food brings us together, but it's true! Sharing food, especially in the context of resistance, roots us in our belonging and connection, even as division threatens to tear us apart. Let's act with food. Bring whatever food you can to share, and if you'd like, send along suggestions for skills we can learn together. Together, we'll build our movement, one skill and spoonful at a time.

What to bring:

• Food! This is going to be a cozy indoor potluck so please bring a dish to share and a water bottle for yourself.
• Music! We'll have a speaker, but bring your instruments if you'd like! 
• People! We love people and pets, so feel free to bring a friends, partner, kids, someone looking for some community - we can all contribute to conversations around building up our power.
• Tricks or treats! Some folks love an occasion to dress up! If this is you, feel free to wear a costume. We do deal with scary problems, but humour helps. We'll provide some seasonal treats! 

Location: 

• Dogwood Office: 864 Queens Ave. (at the corner of Quadra St. and Queens Ave.) 
• Accessibility: The Dogwood office is on the second floor, accessed by stairs. Inside the office is level. Our office is generally scent free, but does occasionally have dogs in it. We have ample ventilation and will provide masks for those who want them.
• If you are feeling sick, please keep us all safe by staying home.

We'll send a reminder closer to the time of the event with all the details, and any updated details! 

See you in October!
