Film Showing, Free Food & Discussion

Entrance is free and there will be free vegan refreshments available. Doors open for socializing at 6:30, film starts circa 7:00 pm. Join us to watch "Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story". This is both an entertaining and a concerning local look at the issue of food waste from farm to retail to our own fridges. Following the film, we will have two brief talks and a Q&A/discussion session. Speaker 1: Jim Hisao is a long time dumpster diver. Speaker 2: Rhoda Klein Miller and Amanda Lorefice will be speaking about the OAC Community Fridges program as a food waste reduction strategy Meatless Meetup is partnering up with Oakridge Seventh Day Adventist Church (OACa church that promotes the plant based diet) to offer this film to our members for free at their community hall. Refreshments provided will include: popcorn, fruit and veggie platters, cookies, crackers, tea & decaf coffee. Some volunteers are needed for set up and tear down (70 chairs). Please contact Nancy if you would like to be on the team to help make this wonderful event go smoothly.'
