Awbury Neighbors and Friends Enjoy Food and Fellowship at the Fall Harvest Potluck
Awbury’s
“Fall Harvest Potluck”, originally scheduled for October 29th was
rescheduled to November 5th due to the pre-Halloween snowstorm that
surprised the entire northeast. The
weather on the 5th couldn’t have been better, and children enjoyed
pumpkin painting, leaf-jumping, and a scavenger hunt outside in the crisp
autumn air as adults chatted in the parlors over delicious food. Guests were asked to participate in creating
an “Awbury Tree”, by filling out cut-paper leaves with individual thoughts on
theme “…my Awbury is a place where…” The tree stimulated many conversations
about Awbury memories, and hopes and dreams for the future. Jeanette Woods, Community Media Editor from
WHYY’s Newsworks, and Queen Muse, freelance journalist, were on hand to
interview guests about the special dishes they’d brought and connect with
community heroes. Visit Newsworks online

article about the event.
