PUUF "No Gas" Dinner in Memory of Dwight E Smith.

A Dinner version of the "no gas" lunch at the fellowship in honor of Dwight E Smith, former pastor and good man, who just would not give up on the fellowship vegitable garden, literally to his dying day.

Promoted by Karen Holmgren, supplied by James Newton.

Come join us on Saturday June 30th between 4:30 and 8pm. Activities for the kids will be provided and there will be a short presentation of related videos after dinner and before a discussion around the bonfire.

The challenge: No additional gas or other fossil fuel can be used to transport the food other than that used to bring the congregation to the fellowship... In other words: Only backyard produce. Well... since we are having a tough time of it, local farmers markets are ok too... Maybe you can ride your bike? <grin> The important thing is that the food not be trucked in from hundreds or thousands of miles away to a grocery store in the opposite direction from the fellowship.
