West End Neighbourhood Food Network Potluck and Presentation

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.

Other notes:

It has been suggested that we have monthly pot-lucks like this -- informal and fun, with exchange of information. If you like the idea, please send a note back to show interest.
