Today I continue looking at the Patch's Prescriptions for a Better Society. This week I challenge us to try another, perhaps easier one of Dr. Adam's questions:
In order to bond your neighborhood in healthy interdependence you would need to host weekly potlucks. Would you?
I suspect that, although this is more complicated, it is probably more comfortable than the first week's challenge to demonstrate public joy. It is not more expensive, since the intent is a pot-luck, you are not expected to feed everyone. You just host, invite, take the chance. Oh yes, you also probably lay out the paper plates and the food as it comes in. The simpler you keep it, the more likely people are to 1-feel comfortable, 2- be willing to come again, and 3- be willing to host one themselves sometime!
If you live in an apartment...how about your floor or building mates? If you live out in the wilds, try three friends who have not been over lately. If Dr. Adams' challenge of weekly potlucks seems daunting, how about once a month?
