From the Editor:
Happy New Year!
Welcome to another year of local events presented by the Eugene Chapter of the WESTON A. PRICE FOUNDATION®. We have many plans for 2008.
First of all we are excited to say that after eight years of the Weston A. Price conferences being on the East Coast, the 2008 Wise Traditions Conference will be held in San Francisco! Woo hoo!
WISE TRADITIONS 2008
WISE TRADITIONS 2008
Hyatt San Francisco Airport
Burlingame, California
(Just south of the San Francisco Airport)
November 7-10, 2008
“Life in its Fullness”
The theme this year is “Life in its Fullness.” Speakers will explore the connection between nutrition and mental and emotional health. The Weston A. Price Foundation says they will be posting details on their website as plans materialize.
Last year we at the Eugene Chapter accomplished our goal to send at least one person to the annual conference. This year we intend to send several people to the conference.
In order to decide who should receive financial assistance from the Eugene Chapter, we have devised a system of volunteer credits.
Volunteer Credits:
For every hour of volunteer work that you do for the Eugene Chapter WAPF, you will receive one Volunteer Credit. At the end of the year each Credit can be turned in to the Eugene Chapter for $10 towards a conference registration and/or transportation to San Francisco. We plan to rent a van, and to share accommodations.
To earn Credits all you have to do is help out.
- Distributing posters and trifold fliers
- Posting class descriptions to newspapers
- Teaching a portion of a class
- Phone call reminders to people without email
- Staffing a booth at the Eugene Celebration or other events
- Hosting a potluck
- Webpage design and/or maintenance
- Bookkeeping or data entry into QuickBooks
- Desktop design of posters and fliers
- And more… If you have other ideas of ways to help out just let us know
Pitch in wherever your interests and talents are. Credits can be used whether you have just one or enough to pay for your whole trip. Unused Credits may also be given to another person. By volunteering only about one hour per week you can earn a free conference ticket!

“The Popcorn Review”
The Oiling of America
Friday, January 18, 2008
7:30 to 9:00 PM
Location:
Market of Choice
67 West 29th, Eugene
Upstairs in the Community Room
This month we will be presenting “The Oiling of America” by Sally Fallon.
This presentation explains the fifty-year history of how we have come to believe, as a nation, that saturated fat is bad for us and polyunsaturated fats are good for us. Ms Fallon shows us with irrefutable evidence how the seed oil corporations have had far too much influence on government policy and our medical professionals. Come learn the truth about the benefits of healthy fats.
This DVD was created at Sally Fallon’s lecture at the Weston A Price Foundation Convention. It is a great introduction for people who are new to the teachings of the Weston A. Price Foundation, and yet has enough information to be of interest to those who are familiar with the concepts.
We are requesting a $5-10 donation to the Eugene Chapter at the door. Space is limited, so please contact us to reserve your seat.
