Next VIVA-Raw Event on August 15

Come to our next VIVA-Raw Potluck and meet  Tim VanOrden,   Elite Athlete and creator of the  Running Raw Project

Tim’s talk will be “Thriving on a Raw Diet”

Location will be the Esquimalt Recreation Centre, 527 Fraser St.  Craigflower Room.    Doors open at 5:30 p.m.;   Potluck Sharing at 6:00 p.m.  Speaker Presentation at 7:00 p.m.  Cost:  $5 to $3 (Sliding Scale).  [ 1/2 the proceeds of this potluck will  go to the Running Raw Project ]

**Due to the popularity of our guest speaker we will be changing from our sit down dinner to a reception style gathering instead.**

Chairs will be  placed around the room allowing space for everyone to socialize and mingle with Tim and other people in the raw community.  Later chairs can be moved in theatre style format for Tim’s presentation.

Attendees are encouraged to bring raw vegan food which is easy to handle or hold, preferrably using organic and local produce / ingredients.   Please bring serving utensils for  your potluck  food offering.   Ionized water  will be provided.

Since this is a reception-style gathering instead of our usual sit-down dinner, VIVA-Raw will supply paper plates, cups, napkins and forks.
