The event is still on the calendar but we are keeping an eye on the guidelines for gatherings as groups. If we are still able to have the potluck, it will be a great opportunity to enjoy the fresh air, see/meet your neighbors, and let the kids play. As with our Annual Picnic, all Village residents will be invited to the potluck. Hopefully it will be safe to gather as a larger group at that point!
