There is a lot of important news here...don't have time for a table of contents.  Please read with care!

Raw Sacramento wishes everyone a beautiful Thanksgiving Holiday

To that end, we are offering a few great helps.  Few things sell your friends or relatives on raw foods like a delicious recipe.  At November's Potluck, Kim Glazzard brought just such a recipe...an absolutely scrumptious pumpkin pie (which can be made from pumpkin or butternut squash).  Her wonderful Pumkpin Pie Recipe is here.  If you would like to see an actual demo of making a pumpkin pie (different recipe) see the next item....  If you don't have anywhere to go for a Thanksgiving Dinner, we have listed 3 outsanding options for you (keep reading....).

December 5 - 4th Annual Holiday Dessert Potluck in Elk Grove

Gordon and Gladys Callander will again kindly host our Holiday Dessert Potluck at their home in Elk Grove.  The Callanders prefer that shoes not be worn inside their home.  Bring some warm socks if you are prone to cold feet! 

Alternate Sunday Potlucks

Joyce Paolini hosted our November Potluck at her home near CSUS.  She would like to try holding an alternate potluck at her home the 3rd Sunday of the month.  The first such potluck will be held December 19.  These potlucks will include an optional activity (cultural or educational) afterwards.  On December 19, it will be a musical theme, so bring your instruments or voices.  More details....

Here's an interesting article that raises points we all probably intuitively have believed. 

Raw Sacramento Yahoo Group

Mark is promoting our Yahoo Group.  Did you know that Raw Sacramento has a Yahoo Group? 

If you join in November, you will automatically be sent an entire Raw Thanksgiving Dinner recipe....not a bad bonus!    I especially encourage people who are already familiar with Yahoo Groups to join.   If you are already a member of our Yahoo Group the Raw Thanksgiving Dinner Recipe can be found in the Files Section Under Recipes\Holiday Recipes.

If you join the group and Yahoo offers to install their Yahoo Toolbar I recommend you DO NOT accept this kind offer.
