It's been WAY too long since we had one of our oh-so popular tasting socials.
July 6, 2 to 5 p.m.
Get your favorite recipe out, make that tasty dish and bring it along with 20 copies of the recipe -- as will everyone else. We encourage local and organic ingredients.
Then we just spend a couple of hours grazing the table of delights, nibbling here and there, plucking a recipe copy of the dishes we like best...
all the while, schmoozing with friends you haven't seen for months or making new ones.
The social will also feature a garden tour from our hosts Dulanie and Doug La Barre at 206 S. Blanche St. to see how they are attempting to grow more food and foil the critters at the same time.
PLEASE RSVP by July 3 to ojaiculinaryclub@gmail.com
The Coalition has moved its headquarters down the street to 206 N. Signal St. Suite S (El Paseo office complex next to Wells Fargo, we’re upstairs). We hope you will visit us sometime Wednesday thru Friday, 12 to 5 p.m.
And look for Open House invitations coming this summer
Soon we’ll have everything back in order – educational displays and artwork, very impressive lending library, and recycling center for household batteries, handheld electronics, media storage, ink & toner, old holiday lights, and wine corks – to name a few of our ‘resources’.
If you can donate any of the following items on our Wish List, we'll get there that much faster!
• Light weight 8' curtain panels
• Flat screen monitor/TV for presentations
• Silk or live green plants
• Create a 4'x4' mural - on the 'story' of compost, watershed, or green streets
Please contact Deborah at membership@ojaivalleygreencoalition.com, if you are able to donate fixtures, funds, or materials for our new center.
Thank you.
