From our Feb. 22, 2013 newsletter:
Monday's meeting is cancelled...
Please accept our apologies! We'll be back on our normal schedule of third Mondays on March 18, 6:30pm.
Take our first-ever survey!
Will you spare 90 seconds for this quick survey?
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BRPFXLT
Deadline to respond is midnight this Sunday, Feb. 24. It is
just 10 very short questions!
Your answer will help our PR intern from USC this semester with his research to gauge current interest and opinions regarding Slow Food Columbia from members and community supporters. Please click through and take a moment. Thanks!
Meanwhile, do consider Monday's
Farm to Table with Kristian Niemi dinner at City Roots.
See below for the Midlands Farm Tour list for April 6-7!
p.s. Soda City Farmers Market will happen inside the new Taylor Street parking garage tomorrow morning, 9am-1pm! Free parking. Pretty great little solution to the weather problem, we've got to say!
