Subject: Reminder: Our City, Our Food, Our Future Listening Sessions
To: "Lerman, Sharon" <Sharon...@seattle.gov>
Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and the Seattle City Council invite you to participate in Our City, Our Food, Our Future: listening sessions on food in our community. The City of Seattle envisions a just, sustainable, and resilient food system where:
· All Seattleites have enough to eat and have access to affordable, local, healthy, culturally appropriate food.
· It is easy to sell local and healthy food in Seattle.
· It is easy to grow food in Seattle, whether for personal use or for business purposes.
· The City provides sustainable ways to prevent and deal with food waste.
· Our community is educated about eating local and healthy food.
We hope you or a designated representative are able to attend one of three public meetings (listed below) the Seattle Office of Sustainability & Environment is hosting to receive feedback on what the City should do next to meet these goals.
· Tuesday March 13, 5:30-8:30 p.m.
Ravenna Eckstein Community Center (6535 Ravenna Ave NE)
· Friday March 16, 1:00-4:00 p.m.
City Hall, Bertha Knight Landes Room (600 4th Avenue)
· Monday March 19, 5:30-8:30 p.m.
Southside Commons (3518 S Edmunds Street)
Space is limited. Please RSVP to reserve your spot. Contact Sharon Lerman at foodp...@seattle.gov with any questions. If you are unable to attend, there will be an opportunity to add your perspective online at www.seattle.gov/food.

Jill Simmons, Director
