Soup Stone Events

We're hosting monthly Stone Soup Dinner Parties where guests bring ingredients for a meal, and good ideas for the conversation. Each month we feature a new project that is either in the works or just off the ground. Guests also get a chance to talk about what they are doing and ask for support from the group.
