SEMINAR ABOUT OUR FOOD AND EATING (JUNE 9, 2010)
with Mary Embleton, Executive Director of Cascade Harvest Coalition;  and Britt Yamamoto, Core Faculty at the Center for Creative Change at Antioch University

Choosing and eating food is a significant personal activity that is common to all of us. The various ways that food is produced, distributed, regulated, marketed and consumed have profound cultural, environmental, economic, political, health and social implications. Is it enough to "vote with your fork"? What would a sustainable food system look like? Join us as Mary Embleton, Executive Director of Cascade Harvest Coalition, and Britt Yamamoto, a member of the Core Faculty at the Center for Creative Change at Antioch University, discuss the many dimensions of food and eating.

The events will be held at Town Hall Seattle and tickets are available on Brown Paper Tickets.
Wine reception 5:30 - 6:30; Program 6:30 - 8:15; Optional Post Seminar Networking 8:15 - 9:00

This event is supported by the Center for Creative Change at Antioch University, SVP Seattle, and Gourmondo Catering.

WE HEARD YOUR FEEDBACK
We tried a new format for our May 11th seminar on A Green Economy. Our goal was to emphasize a conversation between the speakers and allow time for a conversation with the audience .  When we looked through the post event evaluations, it was clear that the audience wanted the speakers to go deeper into the topic. We heard your feedback and we plan to modify the format for our next two seminars. We will give the speakers more time to take a deeper dive into the topics of their expertise.  We also plan to allow more time for questions from the audience.

MAY 24 IDEA CLUB
This month's Idea Club will continue the discussion started at our May seminar about a Green Economy. Come and discuss your opinions, questions and solutions about our need for a green economy.  RSVP for May 24 Idea Club.

The Idea Club is an informal discussion group that meets the fourth Monday of every month from 5 – 7 PM at the Sustainable Path office. Is there sustainability topic that you’d like to explore more?  The Idea Club would love to hear from you.  Send us your ideas for future discussion topics.
