We are excited to begin the fourth year of Northside Community Suppers Sunday, March 29, at the Warner Park Community Recreation Center. The time of the suppers is changing this year. We will start at 4 pm and end at 6 pm. The supper is a free meal of simple comfort food, an open gym for children of all ages, and an opportunity to meet other Northsiders in a relaxed atmosphere. The menu for March 29 will be Irish stew, and there will be pies made by Community GroundWorks volunteers in a community pie-baking event the day before. Contact Shelly Strom at shelly@communitygroundworks.org or 310-8846 to get involved with that.

Looking ahead, the guest host for the May 31 supper will be the North/Eastside Senior Coalition. The Aug. 30 supper will be an outdoor picnic, and the Nov. 29 supper will cap off the Thanksgiving weekend.

Guest sponsor opportunities are still available for August and November. Duties include helping to promote the event and rounding up a few volunteers to help serve and clean up. Call 230-1221 ext. 1 if your organization would like to sponsor a future supper or if you want to personally volunteer.

The Northside Community Suppers Committee includes Boomerangs Resale Store, Madison School & Community Recreation, the Northside Farmers Market, the Northside Planning Council and the Warner Park Community Recreation Center.
