To all Evanston Food Policy Council supporters and participants: This is to inform everyone that the EFPC is going to take an indefinite break from hosting regular monthly meetings. Since EFPC was founded in August 2005, our main priority has been to initiate and support conversations around food -- food and farm policy, nutrition, personal empowerment within the food system, etc. We have been part of a growing national and global conversation about these issues, and we now are part of numerous community food projects in Evanston, the North Shore, the Chicago area, and the state of Illinois. As all of you know, grassroots efforts like the Evanston Food Policy Council ultimately have to be supported monetarily so that the participants can be made sustainable and whole. This is the crossroads where we stand at the moment -- deciding how to focus our energy and become part of the "value chain" of society. I may be sending out occasional announcements about food-related events through this e-mail list. A better place to be regularly connected to Evanston and area food events is through The Talking Farm. If you are not already on The Talking Farm mailing list, you can sign up on the website -- www.thetalkingfarm.org Talking Farm updates are sent out about every 6 weeks. Click here to see current and relevant announcements on the following topics: 1. Federal Legislative Alert 2. Backyard chicken ordinance (click here to see ordinance) 3. Evanston farmers market: new "friends of the market" committee 4. Film festival: "Peaceable Kingdom" and other environmental films 5. New State Rep. Robyn Gabell Stay tuned..... there is still much to do. We're just changing our methods. -- Debbie Debbie Hillman, Co-Coordinator Illinois Local Food & Farms Coalition Chairperson, Evanston Food Policy Council 847/328-7175 This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
