Slow Food O'ahu Annual Meeting and Potluck - January 15, 2012
11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Waldorf High School Campus, 5257 Kalanianaole Hwy. (Aina Haina)
Please join us for our annual Slow Food O'ahu Annual Meeting and Potluck on January 15, 2012 to start off the new year. What will be on the menu for 2012? Your participation is important to us. Share your ideas and talents! While our individual efforts as consumers and advocates are important, only by working together can Slow Food hope to create change in the food system. Let's brainstorm together and start the year on a positive note. We can choose from cooking classes taught by the creative cooks among us, legislative advocacy, school garden tours, lectures, films, themed potlucks, cookbook exchanges, farm tours and harvest celebrations...the calendar is yours to invent.
The meeting and the potluck will be at the Waldorf School in Aina Haina. Please note that if you Google Map the address, it will give you the correct map, but it will say 'Waimanalo' in the automatic address. This is not correct. The school is located in Aina Haina near the Aina Haina Shopping Center on the ocean side of the highway. Parking is limited but you can park at the Shopping Center or in the neighborhood. Also, please note that the Waldorf School has a lower campus at a different location.
Our business meeting will be held from 11:00 a.m. - Noon. The potluck will follow from Noon - 2:00 p.m. For reservations please contact Michelle at sfo.reservation@gmail.com
This is a green event. Please bring your own plate, cup and cutlery.
