Kale Festival planning/social THIS FRI @ Peace Garden

[Mariah SDFNL]

Goodness, lots happening in the new year! 

THIS Kale Festival is another excellent thing for ALL food justice folks to join (whether planning or join the day of).

If you can make this planning/social meeting, it'd be really great/helpful... 

Many of y'all know Beth, so you know the good work and ideas at hand. If you don't know her, she's a good person to connect with!

This planning meeting is *not* open to the public, but good solid food justice folks we know are welcome (so besides CFJ & 1in10 list, please keep it to direct contacts). Rsvp to Beth -- in...@sdpeacegarden.org

Thanks!

Mariah

Subject: Kale Festival planning at the Peace Garden - THIS FRIDAY

Many of you already know that on Feb. 23, 2013 the San Diego Peace Garden is hosting its first, one-of-a-kind  KALE FESTIVAL to celebrate a unique vegetable (& other local  food) with hands-on workshops on growing and cooking locally, lectures,  cooking demonstrations, children's activities, music and of course food!  In order to make this a great event, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU to participate in the planning of it.

The festival will be a place to showcase your many talents, advertise your organizations and network with other locavore urban food enthusiasts.  We envision this as a fun day to bring people together around what we all feel passionate about: healthy, local food.  A little quirky, but interesting. Highlights of the festival will be a kale cooking contest, free food, cooking & food preservation demonstrations, gardening work shops, music and other performances.

If you would like to lend your expertise toward one of these events, please email me or come to the organizational meeting and if you have other ideas, by all means, please let me know.

Can you come to a SOCIAL HOUR TO PLAN THE KALE FESTIVAL 

THIS FRIDAY Jan. 11th
6:00 - 8:00?  Appetizers and desserts provided.   

RSVP appreciated.  

Location: San Diego Friends Center;

If you can't make it, please contact me anyway with your ideas and interest.

Hope to see many of you on Friday!
