transitionnorthfield Mailing List: Local food Potluck

[Angel Dobrow (adobrow]

Dear members of Northfield Food Action and Transition Northfield:

The date has been set! Thursday, March 4 from 5:30 pm- 7 pm at the Co-op 
Community Room. We will eat before the MPIRG event planned that same night to 
talk about Local Food Policy activity. 

I plan to have a flyer/poster for advertising in town. I suggest the parameters 
be something like "bring a dish that meets or exceeds the Co-op ELC guideline 
of 50% local". We can note that this event follows a year of local food 
activity since we met LAST February. The advertising will link both events: 
food and food policy update. I will bring said advertising to the 2-17-10 
meeting.

I also saw in the last meeting notes a suggestion that we "sort" ourselves into 
topics: a table for those wanting to community garden, a table for those 
wanting recipe ideas, a table for those curious about peak food, etc., etc. 
Please send me thoughts on this and willingness to "host' a topic.  (Include 
the topic, I just threw these out as possibilities.)

I also would like to identify a set of volunteers to help with set up, maybe 
bring small tables, bring beverages and cups. We will ask everyone attending to 
bring their own plates, silver, napkins.

Lastly, on the food--I propose we do not worry about organizing. If it's all 
salads in March (?!?), then that's dinner!

Send ideas, comments, thoughts to me directly at adobrow [at] hotmail.com; 
otherwise "hit-reply" sends to too many folks.

Peace--Angel

PS I will also be announcing this tonight to the Sustainable Farmers Assoc 
board, and asking if they want to co-host or just attend.
