Eventbrite paragraph

[Jennifer Spence]

Hi team,

 

Here is a proposed write-up for the Eventbrite page on the May 29^th event:

 

On May 29^th schools throughout DC will take part in the fourth annual Strawberries and Salad Greens day, a spring harvest celebration of fresh, local produce started by the DC Farm to School Network.  Strawberries and salad greens grown by local farms will be featured in school lunches at all DC public schools and some charter schools.  Last year, over 50 schools from all 8 wards also had display stations on “Where Food Comes From” to educate students on the farm to table process with plants, posters and other visuals. 

 

Please join Capital Cause in volunteering at Ward 7’s Kelly Miller Middle School for Strawberries and Salad Greens day on May 29^th from 10:30 AM – 2:00 PM.  We need volunteers to staff a display station and get kids extra excited about eating all the fruits and veggies on their plate.

 

Best,

Jen

Happy Tuesday!

Thanks Jen for the overview.

I spoke with Kezia and she said she is free on Wednesday night and can create the eventbrite page for us.  Rob, do you think that will be enough time for you to format a draft?

All-

Please review the other GCP eventbrite pages listed below.  Also, be prepared to answer the question on the page- why strawberries?  Everything is around the strawberry theme, why introduce people to strawberries as oppose to any other produce?  Just a question I think may be raised.

I have some donors in mind so the sooner we can get this page up the sooner we can raise funds for the 18th and 29th!

Here are some "why strawberries?" copy that you can use:

 

Why Strawberries?

Strawberries are ready-to-eat!  No need to prepare them, just wash before eating!

Strawberries are delicious on their own—or pair them with cream!

Strawberries can be easily added to other meals, like salads, or prepared as a shake or smoothie!

Did you know that 1 cup of whole strawberries has 141% of your daily Vitamin C needs?

Strawberries are very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium.

Strawberries are best when they are free of pesticides—they’ll have a “9” on their label!

[Jennifer Spence]

One reason for the strawberries is they are in season.  For the farm to table movement it is all about eating locally grown foods that are in season.

Thanks Rob.  It looks great.  I expanded the event descriptions a bit and added the donation part.  I have attached the updated copy.

Let's send it to Kezia (please cc me) and we can make additional changes once she has it up.
