Off to Iowa
I’m thinking about the last few days and have so much to tell about, such as the “Notes Toward the Definition of Urban Ecology,” a lecture by David Thompson, Director of the Chicago Center for Urban Ecology, or: “CCUE” (Cee – Cue), given at Belmont Library. The lecture was organized by my friends over at Urban Habitat Chicago (click here to see their website).
But really, I’ve got wash in the washer, my cats both were at the vet this morning, one is still not happy (but okay), and here I am off to Iowa. Wish you could join me (although some of you reading this already are and I’ll see you there).
The conference (click here for CFSC website) will be more fun to write from Des Moines. Speaking of which, click here for a Des Moines link.
On the scattered notes scene:
I’m reading poetry at Hotti Boscotti tonight 10/8/09
between 8pm-10pm (I’m usually early in the show)
3545 W Fullerton
Chicago IL
And for this final part of the note. Thank you to all of the supporters of Neighborhood Nutrition Centers. In our first three weeks of the friends and family appeal, we’ve raised over $1,500 and have additional in kind donations totaling $1,000. Congratulations.
The response has been fantastic. Community Food Security Conference. Speaking engagements. Invitations to community organizations to sit at their table. Conferences. As well as talking with governmental officials, architects, members of the food community (aren’t we all?), Growing Home, Inc., Angelic
Organic Gardens, and many, many others.
We’ve got a great start. Off to Iowa. Continue to contribute by contributing friends to join the FaceBook cause (click here).
See you in Des Moines,
Les
