Potlucks & Presentations
and other Lodge Events
All are welcome.
You are invited to our monthly Potlucks and Presentations at the Obsidians Lodge. You do not have to be an Obsidians member to attend.
POTLUCKS & PRESENTATIONS
We gather together at the Obsidians Lodge for potluck suppers, followed by a program, often a slideshow presentation, featuring matters of interest such as travel, outdoor activities or nature.
Social time begins at 6:05 PM; Potluck at 6:30 PM; Presentation at 7:30 PM and lasts approximately an hour. If you’re not the potluck type, you can show up just for the presentation. If so, please arrive before 7:30 PM.
Bring your favorite potluck dish to share – a main dish, salad, casserole, bread, or dessert – and your own plate, eating utensils, and hot beverage cup that you will take home to wash. Decaf coffee, tea and hot chocolate will be provided.
GAMENIGHT! EVENINGS
Join us at the Obsidians Lodge to play games, visit and have fun. We have a variety of games, but feel free to bring a fun game to play. We play between 4:30 PM and 7:30 PM, so both working and retired folks can enjoy the evening.
UPCOMING EVENTS
May 31, 2024—Protecting Old-Growth Forests & Wild Places – Chandra LeGue
The wild forests, mountains and rivers we enjoy hiking, climbing, and floating all have stories to tell. How did the forest along your favorite trail develop over the past few centuries and what battles were fought to protect your favorite Wilderness area or wild river? Chandra LeGue, Senior Conservation Advocate with Oregon Wild, explored some of these questions in her 2019 book “Oregon’s Ancient Forests: A hiking guide.” But change is the nature of life and, since her book came out, several included trails have been impacted by fire and new campaigns to protect old-growth forests and wild places have emerged.
