The five of us who gathered on Sunday the 26th debated a wide range of subjects. We talked about the Terri Schiavo tragedy and the political reverberations it has spawned. As we focused on Congress and other institutions of governance it evolved into to a discussion about events in Iraq, crime and punishment and other topics too numerous to mention. It was a spirited dialogue.
On Sunday, July 10th, we'll serve up a conversation about hunger and nutrition in the metro area. A representative from a group called Community Farm Alliance will fill us in on the basics about providing the "basics" to everyone. Community Farm Alliance is a statewide grassroots that supports family-scale farmin as a means of protecting the environment and strengthening rural community life.
So come to the City Cafe 3 PM, July 10th and partake of good company and conversation at the next meeting of Cofound.
Here is a link to an article in .pdf that goes a little deeper into our topic: http://www.foodsecurity.org/PerspectivesOnCFS.pdf
