They must have been attracted by the irresistible aroma of Luke Russell’s hot ‘n’ spicy, authentic southwest chili con carne, because 70-80 neighbors forsook the Eagles/Vikings game and braved a rather warm and muggy afternoon to gather for the traditional Autumn Potluck at the gracious home of Steve and Linda Corsover on Tulpehocken Street, Sunday afternoon, October 7th.
Bounty was the name of the game, with the usual plenteous array of comestibles and potables, and conviviality was the order of the day.
Regina Robinson presented an account of the saving from demolition of the wrought iron fence from the historic “Ruth Bennett Community House for Colored Women and Girls” in Chester and bringing it to West Central Germantown.

We welcomed many new faces, and the business meeting, ably presided over by President Rama Assaf-Smith, fostered lively discussions about issues important to our growing and diverse community—all to be continued at the Winter Potluck, the last Sunday in January. Mark your calendars!
