Saturday: West End Neighbourhood Food Network Potluck & Presentation

Dear Friends,

Happy New Year 2012, the Year of the Dragon. This is an invitation from the West End Neighbourhood Food Network (WENFN) to the following event, part of our ongoing series of activities about food and growing in the West End.
 
West End Neighbourhood Food Network Potluck and Presentation
Saturday, January 14, 1 to 3 pm
West End Community Centre (Denman Room)
Join WENFN for an informal potluck, followed by a presentation (see details below) on food security and urban agriculture activities in the West End.
Free
We're Looking forward to see you there. For those who can't make it, I'll write up a little report and put it up on www.greenmillennium.org, where you can see reports of other past activities of WENFN. We're still working on a WENFN website.
