Joyous NOTL is hosting its third annual Summer Potluck on Saturday, July 27.

This year’s celebration, at McFarland House, on the Niagara Parkway, from noon to 2 p.m., is shaping up to be a truly “joyous” event with summertime music as well as some games and door prizes.

We will provide drinks, plates, cutlery, etc. but ask that people bring a dish to share.

One Joyous NOTL member, a professional chef, has offered to bring his pizza oven.

This is a great opportunity for members of our community to come together to share and enjoy some delicious food, make some new friends and enjoy just how joyous living here can be.

Joyous NOTL is a popular Facebook group that provides a place for community members to visit where positivity is the goal without any political or social agendas.

It is a place to both seek out positive interactions and moments from everyday life as well as to share them.

Anything from posting one’s first bloom in the garden that makes you smile, a sunset, a conversation or even those seemingly intimate moments from life that can mean so much to us on a personal level.

Joyous NOTL recognizes that life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, but it is a place where anyone is welcome and can find something to remind us that we do have so much to find joy in.

Facebook and Facebook Messenger is the best way to contact or find out more about Joyous NOTL.
