Hi all,
Hope you enjoyed the snow! I’ve been snowed in without internet (or hot running water) for the past week. Still had a nice vacation at home.
The Eugene Chapter is planning to attend the 8th annual Fun with Fermentation Festival this Saturday, January 14th, 2017, and we are calling on you to help. We need some more volunteers. Can you spare an hour or two to set up or staff our booth? We can use people with all levels of skill and familiarity with WAPF principles.
Can you do any of these tasks? (pick one or more):
- Carry boxes?
- Set information out on the table?
- Smile at people who come up?
- Talk with people about the Weston A. Price Foundation principles?
- Refer people to our website?
- Pack boxes and load them back into the car?
If so, we need you! Volunteers get in free, and its a lot of fun!
For more details about the event see: https://www.evensi.us/8th-annual-fun-with-fermentation-festival-lane-community/190310745
Contact me ASAP to let me know if I can count on you.
Thanks!
Lisa

For the second year in a row, the Eugene Chapter had a booth at the Fun With Fermentation Festival! This event is presented by the Willamette Farm and Food Coalition.

And a better, longer buy cheap viagra deeprootsmag.org performance can have a positive impact on your relationship, making you feel closer as a couple. Tribulus terrestris is widely used in tadalafil 5mg tablets alternative systems of medicines. The WOW Hall was packed with folks enamored or at least curious about what this fermentation business was all about. Claudia Sepp, Cherie Anello and I, Victoria Schneider threw ourselves into the hustle and bustle of talking about all the great information we present from Weston A Price Foundation. We gave out lots of tri-fold brochures and signed up lots of folks for further information. Cherrie brought her electric grain grinder and a sign-up sheet for collecting names for folks who would want to go together and put in an order of 6 machines. I want one of the hand grinders so I can use sprouted whole wheat berries as the electric one can only do dry grains. Cherie has had hers for years and it is a great device.
I brought a 2 quart jar of Cortido and 350 sample cups to give away. I had made it last November and it was very well aged and delicious. I think we were unofficially voted with having the best sauerkraut overall. We also had a bowl of chopped cabbage and both the Kraut Pounder and my new Stonepounder (from Mexico) for people to try out. Lots of activity and the kids especially enjoyed it. By the end of the day we had given away all the samples, so I am guessing we had 350 to 400 people attend.
We saw many friends, ate some delicious samples and really, a good time was had by all. By the time we cleaned up and packed up, we were pooped and ready for some peace and quiet, but for sure, we will do it again, with pleasure, next year.
The Eugene Chapter will once again be attending the “Fun with Fermentation Festival”.

 Special AnnouncementGreetings Members of the WVSFA,
It has recently come to the board’s attention that an important decision is about to be made in regards to the deregulation of GMO Roundup Ready Sugar Beets (RRSBs). This will unquestionably affect some of our local farmers. In response to this we have two letters:
1) To inform you about how to get more information about the subject, how to voice your opinion/ concerns, and to ask our members if they think the WVSFA as a whole should take a stance on the issue and submit our own letter.
2) To inform you of the stance that GMO Free Eugene is taking on this subject and allow you the opportunity to sign on to their letter.
Please read over the documents (see links below) and let us know if you would like the alliance as a whole to take a stance and write a letter against the deregulation of RRSBs. Please, feel free to take an individual stand and sign on to the GMO Free Eugene Letter.
Please contact Leda with any information regarding your stance and/ or if you have any questions or concerns.
