MY FEBRUARY SCHEDULE: February 14th I will be attending Farm Food Voices DC 2007. Please see attached Flyer. Laura (my 21 yo daughter) and I will be leaving Feb 13th, going to McLean, where I will spend the night at my oldest daughter’s, who is the photographer for the event. We will return Feb 14th in the evening.
I encourage anyone that can attend to do so, and those who can provide appropriate food to show our legislators what real food is to contribute.
I would also encourage everyone to call their legislators (see www.VICFA.NET/nicfa.html ) and invite them to the event.

February 22nd I will be going to a workshop in Nashville, Tenn. as a local representative for E.A.T Local (http://www.tjpdc.org/environment/eatlocal.asp ) , and VICFA (http://www.vicfa.net/ ) I was hoping someone else would go, to be honest, since time is so rushed around here, but looks like I am the one.
I will be driving to Nashville during the night of the 22nd, attending the workshop, and coming home afterwards, unless I can find a guest home near Nashville for the night before. The following is information about the workshop:

Building Stronger Local Food System Networks and Food Policy Councils in the South.

This half-day workshop in Nashville, Tennessee will bring together food and farm advocates from across the Southeast region interested in networking, sharing information, and working through issues and challenges related to forming food system networks and food policy councils. The Community Food Security Coalition's, Food Policy Council Program will be hosting this event.
