Groups / Sub-Groups

There are many sub-groups in the neighborhood potluck group. Some are highly organized and meet regularly. Some sub-groups are merely ways to indicate one's interest in a particular topic and have not yet organized. The groups which are the MOST organized, and which meet monthly, bi-weekly or even weekly are: Pickleball, Small Business Owners (Open Connections), Girls Night Out / Ladies Lunch Out, Book Club and Bible Study.

Use your personalized link page or log in to your account to join (or exit) any sub-group. Or contact us to ask to be added (or removed).

Bible Study
Neighborhood Bible study. Enjoyable and enlightening way to deepen one's understanding of the Bible while also making new friends and getting to know great neighbors. Everyone is welcome. Men, women, all ages. (Anybody under the age of 18 who attends will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.) Christian, non-Christian, atheist, etc. The only requirement is that those who attend are interested in reading and thoughtfully discussing the Bible. [More...]
Book Club
Tracy leads a fun book club that meets monthly at the Tempe library. Members of the Tempe neighborhood potluck group meet for fun and friendship while discussing fascinating books. Members of this sub-group are kept informed about book club activities and meetings and related events.
Cat-Lovers / Cat Caregivers
Group for everyone who loves cats or is a cat caregiver. Some of the area's leading cat-caregivers are also members of the neighborhood potluck group! These include people involved in TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return), cat welfare, feral cat colony management, and more. When one of these leading cat caregivers organized an event, the response was tremendous. So we knew we needed to create a dedicated sub-group.
