The house is on the left (* the address is either 2087 or 2078 - I may have reversed the numbers. I will hang a banner out front). This is the same location as where we held our Food Preparation Class in September. Our daytime meetings are regularly held on the second Monday of each month. We have a different topic each month, and the potluck has wonderful foods. Please bring a Nourishing Traditions style dish and join us!

Meeting & Potluck lunchOur daytime meetings are regularly held on the second Monday of each month. We have a different topic each month, and the potluck has wonderful foods. Please bring a Nourishing Traditions style dish and join us! Return to top of page Question & AnswerQ: What are the class fees used for? Does the person instructing get paid, or is it a way to raise money for the Chapter? A: The classes have two purposes. The primary one is educational. People want to learn how to make these foods, and to see and taste what the results should be. The second purpose is to raise money for the Eugene Chapter. We use the profits to fund other events and expenses that do not bring in money. The Eugene Chapter does not receive any funding from the Weston A. Price Foundation. We are responsible for our own fund raising and pay our own expenses. Expenses we have had this year include paying for a booth at the Eugene Celebration, printing hand-outs and flyers, fabricating the Kraut Pounders, paying for the website hosting, renting space to hold our events, postage and other miscellaneous supplies. It has been a goal this year to send someone to the national Wise Traditions Conference this November, and to buy DVD's of some of the speakers at the conference to show at future "Popcorn Review" showings. The chapter leaders, Victoria & Lisa have been volunteering their time, as well as loaned the Eugene Chapter hundreds of dollars to get this chapter off the ground. Tracy Evans, Katie Brown, Christine Deck, Paul Atkinson, Sharon Kester and Carla Burkhart have loaned us the use of their homes. Julie Tilt, Teri Sue Wright, Gigi Aaron, Sandi Thompson, Sue Gorham, Claudia Sepp and Kathleen Rutecki have helped out in other capacities. I apologize if I have forgotten anyone; volunteers are what have made this Chapter possible, and we want to thank everyone who has contributed his or her time, money and energy to this organization. Fund raising will continue to be an important aspect of the Eugene Chapter activities. We have always felt that it was better to offer you something of value and charge for it, than to continuously ask for donations. Our chapter meetings are now and will always remain free events. If you would like to come to our planning sessions and be involved in deciding how to spend the Eugene Chapter funds please let us know. We also gratefully accept donations. - Thank you for your questions. Please join us at one of our upcoming events! Return to top of page |
