> My name is Crystal Amethyst, and I am organizing an Ithaca Community  
> Potluck in an attempt to bring together the Ithaca College, Cornell,  
> and Ithaca area communities. My idea is to hold a bi-monthly potluck  
> at the Women's Community Building downtown where students and  
> community members can come together to share food, thoughts, and  
> talents (and anything else!).
>
> The date of the first potluck is Monday, April 4, 2011. It will be  
> held at the Women's Community Building, 100 West Seneca Street  
> Ithaca, NY from 5:30-7:30 pm.
>
> I have created a blog site for Ithaca Community Potluck in hopes  
> that people will be able to share recipes and other things online,  
> and hope that the blog will grow to be a rich source of local  
> happenings and information about the Ithaca area. The site address  
> is http://ithacapotluck.blogspot.com/. I have also created a group  
> on Facebook for the potluck: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ithaca-Community-Potluck/202033189825169 
>  .
>
> I really want to reach out to everyone in the community in hopes of  
> getting as many people to come as possible, and believe that food is  
> a great way to connect farmers, community members, and students.
>
> If you know of any list serves or community organizations to contact  
> to help spread the word of the potluck, that would be great! Also,  
> if Cornell Cooperative Extension would be willing to donate anything  
> to the potluck (any amount of money to sponsor renting out the  
> space, resources to distribute at the potluck, people to come talk  
> about local food resources, etc.) that would also be wonderful!
>
> Thanks and have a great day,
