The August 29 meeting

Last Thursday, on August 29th, we had a meeting at the garden where we shared an overview of Food Not Bombs and the free store and talked about their current status. Alyx and I somewhat loosely facilitated the conversation, and at least I thought it stirred up some energy for a few possible projects.

Here are some the ideas around work that we could do that I remember from the meeting:

  1. Starting up a fundraiser, which would include raising money that the church has requested from us.
  2. Spreading the word about Food Not Bombs and the free store in our neighborhoods.
  3. Organizing another event where we cook for the church so that we can all meet each other.
  4. Organizing another opportunity for orienting new people to the kitchen and doing a serve-safe training.
  5. Figuring out our banking situation.

Do you see anything else that was a particular line of action that came out of that meeting?

Would you be willing to respond here or in one of our chats or to me directly if you’re interested in working on one of those projects?

I would also be happy to hear your take on that meeting.

Oh yeah, and for myself, I’m particularly excited to work on organizing around #3 and #4, although I don’t want to do them all by myself. I would help out with #1 and #2.

I just learned that @ChrisH and Alyx are wanting to work on this. Do you want to join in on organizing this with them?
