Oct. 24 Food Day 2012 - -Screening The Harvest

[Karen Wagner]

Hi, all – I’m thinking about the October  “not-so-Green or Drinks gathering” in Pendleton on the last Weds. of the month:  That day happens to be Halloween, proper, which may or may not affect our attendance.  So – here’s another thought:  We could switch to October 24^th, which also happens to be Oregon Food Day (and national Food Day) and conduct a screening of the film noted below (if it actually comes through) - | www.theharvestfilm.com | http://www.facebook.com/theharvestfilm | @theharvestdoc

Thoughts?  {now where were we…September…?!  What happened last month, what about Sept 26^th…any preferred topics of discussion or action?}
