From the Editor:

December already?!

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. Did you try any new recipes? Feel free to share your successes or failures.

Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. It seems like a very Wise Traditions holiday to me, centered around food and giving thanks for the bounty.

It has been quite an eventful year for the Eugene Chapter.
This year we:

• Launched the Kraut Pounder website
• Hosted twenty potluck meetings
• Taught five Food Preparation Classes (covering over 23 recipes)
• Made two field trips to local farms
• Staffed a booth at the annual Wine and Art Festival at Chateau Lorane
• Presented two DVDs on health & nutrition
• Staffed a booth at the Eugene Celebration
• Printed and distributed hundreds of posters and trifold fliers
• Created, packed and shipped Kraut Pounders to 19 states and two countries
• Signed up at least eighteen new members to the Weston A. Price Foundation
• Created this newsletter
• Tripled the size of our email list
• Responded to hundreds of emails....

Whew, as a result your Chapter Leaders are pooped.

Wise Traditions 2007 Conference

My son Casey and I traveled to Virginia & Washington DC to the Wise Traditions Conference last month. Thank you again to everyone who signed up as new members. We got a free conference registration, and I was pulled up on stage with about 4 or 5 other people to receive recognition for work on the membership drive. There were some great speakers and we bought DVD's to show at the Popcorn Review next year. The trip was quite an experience (as you may have guessed, it is exhausting traveling with a toddler). I hope to have time to tell you all about it sometime soon. ~ Lisa

December Event:

Planning Meeting & Potluck Dinner

Topic: Planning for 2008.

The purpose of this meeting is to set our priorities for 2008 and to celebrate our many accomplishments of 2007!

We invite everyone who has benefited from the work of the Eugene Chapter to come and give something back. Together we can make the Eugene Chapter an even stronger organization and better resource for our community. We plan to decide on some goals for the new year. We encourage everyone to participate, whether your contribution is large or small we appreciate your help.

Please bring a Nourishing Traditions style dish and join us!

If you need driving instructions or have other questions call Victoria at 343-3699. RSVP is appreciated!

That's all for now! We are taking some time off in December to recharge and prepare for the new year.
