Slow Food Eugene Annual Meeting, Feb 10 (February 2008 Newsletter)

Annual Meeting--February 10 , 2008

Last year's Slow Food Eugene's calendar of events celebrating good, clean, and fair food was fabulous, but what about 2008? It all starts with our annual meeting. That's where we gather together, share some delectables at a pot luck, elect officers, and plan for 2008.

DATE: Sunday, February 10, 2008
PLACE: Eugene Garden Club, 1645 High Street, Eugene
TIME: 6 pm Parking is available at the site and across the street in the Planned Parenthood parking lot.

To reduce waste, bring your own durable place settings--plates, cups, and flatware. We will have spares for those who forget. In addition to your pot luck offering, please bring a beverage. Nothing alcoholic please.

We will put them up on a big board and decide what we want to do next year. Here are some ideas to get your creative and salivary juices flowing:
You can also email your ideas to eugene@slowfoodusa.org

Eugene/Newport Convivia, March 8-9, 2008

SAVE THE DATE!

Mark your calendars!! It's a weekend in Newport and an opportunity to get to know Slow Food Newport members. Oregon Coast magazine in the November/December issue gave full coverage to Newport and its 125th celebration. In March you'll meet several of the people mentioned in the articles.

In one article they state, "Newport is the last community on the Oregon coast where fishing produces more personal income than tourism - - $95.4 million vs $89.9 million in 2003, the last year in which statistics are available." Slow Food Newport members will probably have something to share about harvesting or consuming seafood.
Saturday afternoon
  • seafood and wine pairing at the Nye Beach Gallery
  • dock walk to take a closer look at the fishing vessels in the harbor
  • presentations on wave energy, barcoding fish products, zero fish waste recycling and connecting local growers with local businesses

Saturday evening

Dinner served at Local Oceans where owner, Laura Anderson buys seafood from the local fleets

Sunday morning

Clamming with instructor, Bill Lackner. He will take us to Siletz Bay to dig purple varnish clams. He says you'll have your limit in 30 minutes. You'll need a license, shovel or spade, bucket or bag and really old shoes. Besides the shoes there are several locations on the harbor where needed items may be purchased.

There are several alternatives for lodging. A few of the Newport members will be offering home stays to Eugene Slow Food members and we are looking into best rates at motels in the area. This information will be included in the registration form that will be sent early February.
You may participate in all of the activities of the weekend or just some of them. The presentations and dinner location will depend on the numbers involved. If you are giving this serious consideration, please send a message to nicki_maxwell@comcast.net and let her know. It will help a lot in planning.

Sustainability Survey (Splendid Table)

"Splendid Table" listeners might not be a random sample of the US population, but the results of this survey are interesting nonetheless. Locally-grown is especially important.
