Newsletter – October 2007 From the Editor:
Autumn is here and we are making a few changes. The daytime meeting will be at a different location this month, and we are starting up the “Popcorn Review” again. These DVD showings will occur on the third Friday of each month throughout the fall, taking the place of our evening potluck/meetings.
Our Membership Drive for the Weston A. Price Foundation continues. If you have been thinking about becoming a member of this wonderful organization, please send us your membership form before the deadline at the end of October.
~ Lisa
Membership Drive!
Membership is the lifeblood of the Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF). The Foundation does not accept funding from any government agency, nor from any part of the foods industry. Instead we rely on the membership fees and donations of thousands of health conscious individuals.
By joining WAPF you will:
- Receive the quarterly journal Wise Traditions. An information packed publication.
- Support The Weston A. Price Foundation. A wonderful organization that is one of the few groups speaking the truth about our need to return to traditional nutrient-dense diets.
- If you put my name (Lisa Bianco-Davis) as the person who referred you, you will help me win a free membership to the national conference in DC this November (a $350.00 value and I only need a few more!).
Deadline: end of October! You can become a member at any time, but in order to qualify for the contest, memberships must be received by the Weston A. Price Foundation by November 5th! Plan on handing them into us, or mailing them to the Foundation before the end of October.
If you have been considering becoming a member,
now is the time!
This membership form has my name already on it. Please download the form (note: you need the free Adobe Reader program on you computer), print it out, enclose your payment and give it to us at an event this month, or mail it to the Foundation directly.

Question & Answer
Q: What are the class fees used for? Does the person instructing get paid, or is it a way to raise money for the Chapter?
A: The classes have two purposes. The primary one is educational. People want to learn how to make these foods, and to see and taste what the results should be. The second purpose is to raise money for the Eugene Chapter. We use the profits to fund other events and expenses that do not bring in money.
The Eugene Chapter does not receive any funding from the Weston A. Price Foundation. We are responsible for our own fund raising and pay our own expenses. Expenses we have had this year include paying for a booth at the Eugene Celebration, printing hand-outs and flyers, fabricating the Kraut Pounders, paying for the website hosting, renting space to hold our events, postage and other miscellaneous supplies. It has been a goal this year to send someone to the national Wise Traditions Conference this November, and to buy DVD’s of some of the speakers at the conference to show at future “Popcorn Review” showings.
The chapter leaders, Victoria & Lisa have been volunteering their time, as well as loaned the Eugene Chapter hundreds of dollars to get this chapter off the ground. Tracy Evans, Katie Brown, Christine Deck, Paul Atkinson, Sharon Kester and Carla Burkhart have loaned us the use of their homes. Julie Tilt, Teri Sue Wright, Gigi Aaron, Sandi Thompson, Sue Gorham, Claudia Sepp and Kathleen Rutecki have helped out in other capacities. I apologize if I have forgotten anyone; volunteers are what have made this Chapter possible, and we want to thank everyone who has contributed his or her time, money and energy to this organization.
Fund raising will continue to be an important aspect of the Eugene Chapter activities. We have always felt that it was better to offer you something of value and charge for it, than to continuously ask for donations. Our chapter meetings are now and will always remain free events.
If you would like to come to our planning sessions and be involved in deciding how to spend the Eugene Chapter funds please let us know. We also gratefully accept donations.
– Thank you for your questions. Please join us at one of our upcoming events!
