Hi Folks,

PLEASE COME OUT THURSDAY NIGHT TO SUPPORT ITEM F2 (resolution 90) to
create a Dane County Food Council.

County Board Meeting
Rm 201 in the City-County Building on MLK Blv (just south of the
Capital)
7:30 PM
Thursday, Oct. 6

This Thursday the County Board will vote on establishing a Food Council
in Dane County.  The Council will serve to coordinate services and
generate ideas that will support a more sustainable and equitable food
system.

Please come and either register in support on ITEM F2 or register to
speak.  There will be a counter proposal so the talking points are
pretty specific.  Please contact me if you want more information or
look for Ruth Simpson at the meeting (her e-mail address is  Ruth
Simpson <rsimpson@...>

For more info on what the Local Food Policy Advisory Subcommittee (the
subcommittee of the County Board that worked on this proposal over the
last year) has done and for a copy of the resolution, see our web site
at: http://www.co.dane.wi.us/committees/foodpolicy/

Please forward this request to others that may be interested.

Thanks!!
Jill
