Monthly Meeting:  Dr. Marvin Dunn - Building an Urban Community Garden

We are fortunate to have a true visionary to speak at our meeting this month. Dr. Marvin Dunn is an American historian, psychologist, FIU professor emeritus, author, and filmmaker. He has written about the history of African Americans in South Florida, and continues to give tours to enlighten residents about the rich cultural heritage that has been part of Miami-Dade County since its inception.
He is also the creator of a community garden that is thriving in Overtown, and will tell us about the importance of this land to the residents by providing fresh produce for the community as well as educational programs on gardening, nutrition, and healthy living.

Food Pantry
In this season of giving, our meeting is also an opportunity to provide non-perishable food for the food pantry this is available at our host church for those facing food insecurity. There is actually an Amazon wish list to make donating easier if you prefer. We will have a collection box at the entrance to our meeting. We are thankful that Coral Gables Congregational Church gives us a place for our meetings, and this is our chance to show our gratitude.

This meeting will also be our social time together, so we ask those who want to participate to bring a plant-based dish to share with others for dinner before the meeting begins. Vegan meals provide the least impact to the planet while sharing food that we all have in common - food that comes from the earth.
The Pot-Luck meal will begin at 5 pm, and the meeting will start at 6 pm, at Coral Gables Congregational Church, 3011 Columbus Blvd, Coral Gables, in the Fellowship Hall (west entrance).
