TERRA MADRE VERMONTERS

Great to hear that you returned as enthusiastic as you were in 2006!!

As you and I discussed in early September, when we returned from the Slow Food National Congress, we thought (and have always thought) that what this state needed was groups of small chapters that are intimately connected with their communities, and have a larger gathering either once or twice a year (preferably not during planting or harvesting seasons). This could be a time where we could plan as well as just enjoy each others company. And, finally SFUSA is in agreement.

SFUSA was talking about doing templates for websites, we had already planned on doing one where we could all have input and other members around the state could know what is going on and attend if able.

This is certainly a great start!

On October 28th, while meeting Chef David Hoene of Pauline's, upon his return from Terra Madre, he said that he would like to host a Gathering of Terra Madre Delegates 2006/2008 at his restaurant:

Sunday, November 16 at 4:30 p.m., Pauline's Cafe - Upstairs, South Burlington

Please contact Pauline's directly at 1.802.862.1081 to RSVP.

Hope to see you all there and let's keep the energy going!
