Just Eat It: March 24th
Christopher shared about the local food store throwing away food after power outage and if there is a way to share such info. Sarai has contact w/ a woman that is working on such projects.
Jill asked if anyone wanted to watch movie beforehand.
Discussion led to the ugly fruit movement.
Grocery stores used to sell ugly produce for cheaper. Grocery outlet does such things w/ canned products. Public market in B'ham does it as well; owner might be a good interview.
Chuck volunteered to make popcorn. Movie people might already be doing so.
Jill made green tomato chutney, will bring to Lighting the Dark. Could use as a promo for Just Eat it

Sarai wants to bring the poster from John, her light sculpture, and some masks.
Christopher will bring instruments. "We've got rhythm in our bones."
He will also bring a screen for projector.
SWAP set up on benches around hall.

Recapping the idea of CT rules of order:
Leader will volunteer, have bird.
Read agenda to group.
Stick to agenda.
Review at end.
Jill asks if we need to have a meeting to evaluate the group's identity and mission? - this will be tabled until next winter.
Great conversation. Sarai suggest having the meeting next winter. Christopher observed that we have lists of what we do and did; we can evaluate. Annette pointed out that we are connecting people from all walks of life and gathering people together.
Review of what the group has done over the years. Some things have been brought up and not done. Other activities like the BLM are initiated and successful.
Our energy to advertise and facilitate often depends on the actual people here at the table.
Jill will read the transition handbook.
Chris brought up the decision making process and how opinions are shared until consensus is achieved.
Christopher talked with Jill about possibly having jam sessions after our meetings.
Put it on a different calendar. Jams rule and will happen. One note to rule them all.
Christopher updated us on the Whatcom Swap Trade at the Majestic.
Annette is getting a door on her greenhouse.
Sarai will email Finney Farm to tell them about this Friday's Swap.
The end the end.
