For those interested in all aspects of food security, local foods, local agriculture and the like, please join LUSH Valley Food Action Society at its Annual General Meeting and Pot Luck on Thursday, May 13th from 6- 8 pm.

The featured guest presenter will be Jean DuGal, Courtenay resident, columnist for the Word, and founder of LUSH Valley.  Jean, a frugal living maven known for her dry wit, will entertain us with a Food Trivia contest, testing our local food smarts. There will be prizes for correct answers!

The pot luck portion will begin promptly at 6 pm.  Everyone attending is asked to provide a dish featuring local foods.  Please bring a card with the ingredients listed; a prize will be given to the most creative dish using local ingredients!  Beverages will be provided. The business of the AGM will take place at 6:30 pm, followed by dessert and the trivia contest.

LUSH Valley welcomes those who wish to volunteer, especially those who wish to invest their time and  skills to serve on the board of directors,  thereby helping us to shape the future of food security in the Comox Valley. For further information on board opportunities, please contact Bunny Shannon at 250.335.2003 or bunny5779@aol.com
