*About the meeting:
*I’m writing to invite any interested people to a first planning meeting for an *”Eat Local Now” Dinner in West Seattle* -…. This event would be a fund-raiser intended to raise awareness of the importance of local foods and a fun evening of socializing and eating locally grown food. BALLE (Business Alliance for Local Living Economys ) has held several of these dinners in the last couple years – here is an description of one of them: eatlocalnow.orgWe are looking to do this first event in West Seattle.
Derek Hoshiko of BALLE will be at this meeting to share past successes of such a meal, to brainstorm together about what characteristics we would want from such an event in West Seattle (from whom would we source the food, where would we hold the dinner, whom might speak, what local chefs could prepare it, how many folks would we aim to serve), and to see if we can
agree to do the event. Right now we are looking at late January for the event.Please RSVP by responding to pres@sustainablewestseattle.org if you can join us, or e-mail and let us know if you cannot make it but are still interested.
