Monthly Community Potlucks
From January-May, Lakeside invites friends and neighbors to gather for monthly Community Potlucks. The gatherings are great for reconnecting with other year-round community members and share favorite, family recipes.
  
The potlucks are held from 12-1:30 p.m. every Third Thursday of the month in Wesley Lodge, unless otherwise noted. The first potluck will be held on Thursday, Jan. 18.
  
The main dish will be provided by Otterbein North Shore. Guests are invited to bring a side dish or dessert to share.
Spread the Lakeside Love, Purchase a Lakeside T-Shirt
Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and it's never too early to show your love for Lakeside. Here are five ways you can spread the Lakeside love this year.

Purchase an 'I Love Lakeside' T-Shirt  
Do you love Lakeside? Show your love by purchasing a $25 Lakeside T-shirt ($15 for youth) - and an extra one for your special valentine! All proceeds benefit the Lakeside Annual Fund. To order, visit www.bonfire.com/love-lakeside . Orders will be accepted until Wednesday, Jan. 24, while supplies last. All orders will ship within three weeks of the campaign, closing on January 24.
 
Paint a Rock 
The Rhein Center may be closed for the winter, but that doesn't mean you can't participate in this beloved Lakeside tradition! Find some rocks outside your home (or brave the cold and see what you can find on the frozen Lakeside shore). Then gift them to your Lakeside friends or valentine.
