Jan Willing is working on new “tag lines” for the current poster/publicity for 9/11/05. Mary Ellen Carter wrote and published a wonderful Slow Food article in the Co-op Newsletter. She has developed a “Friend of Slow Food”

membership brochure to be inserted in the official Slow Food application.

Mary Ellen is coordinating a “Sunday at the Farm” harvesting and cooking fest at Cloud Mountain Farm (Cheryl and Tom Thornton) for August 7,

2005. She needs volunteers to assist in organizing.

The Yeast Feast (beer tasting) has been cancelled due to lack of funding. The Ice Cream Social is on hold. The Farm and Cheese Tour for May 22nd is full. We will meet at Rhonda Gothberg's farm at 3:30 pm for a tour followed by a cheese tasting at

Slough Food in Edison. Participants will receive details via email from Max. Fairhaven Farmers' Market demonstrations and Slow Food membership booth details will be researched by Max through Mary Ellen and/or Robin

Crowder. The June booth will be managed by Mary Ellen and Jeff Bode. In July, Glenn Denkler will do a food demo (where does he get

equipment, etc?) August is undetermined.

Max will coordinate future membership potlucks. The April 27th potluck at the Willing's was a success.
