Boogie Down This Friday

So I've been slacking on the happy hours...which I'll be coordinating in the next week or so, but in the meantime, let's go dancing. There's 80's dance night a Lola's room this friday around 10pm. It's a $4 cover and well worth it. We could even meet up before to have a drink considering that the McMinnies are a little pricey. Anyway, hit me up and let me know if you're down.

Team Photos

Yikes! Those photos are great. We need to paint the steps in front of our house. I'm sad I missed the frolicking part of the day. A truly awesome team. Kelley

Team Meeting Survey

Ok, one more post. Since we are about halfway through our service year (yes, halfway - whoa!), I thought I would send out a little survey on team meetings. Please send me an email or leave a comment on this post answering these questions:


1. What have you liked or wished there was more of at team meetings so far?


2. What activities (service work, hiking, lectures, etc.) would you like to see more of at the remainder of team meetings?


As you are thinking about these questions, think big picture. Overall, what have you liked/wished there was more of at the team meeting. This is for those who haven't planned their meetings yet, so I think it will be good to get good general idea of what the group would like more of at the coming meetings.

I appreciate your thoughts and input.

New Team name: AmeriCorps Musical??

Ok, so this is just the most spectacular picture of all time. It looks like the climatic moment from a musical that follows the escapades of a group of individuals who will sacrifice warmth and comfort to frolic (yes, frolic) in the wild northwest. That or it could be a visitportland.com logo to show visitors that everyone loves the rain. I may have taken this a little to far, but I'm just dying inside, I love it so much.

Here are a couple other pics from the team meeting:

Ok, I don't have much time (or patience for blogspot right now) to post more pics, but if you have any please send them my way and post them here.

That's all. I'm out.

Hi, y'all -
here's a little reminder about my CAP event on Sunday. I sure you some of you can come!

Food, Farming and Fun!

This sounds like an awesome opportunity - especially those who are into food systems. It's on Monday, so sign-up now!

Come volunteer at Ecotrust's Farmer-Chef Connection Conference at the Canby County Fairgrounds on Monday, March 5th. This is a great opportunity to meet many of those working to transform the food system, find solutions to environmental problems, and help improve the local economy. Also enjoy fantastic local food and beverages throughout the day. Full or part-day opportunities.
The seventh annual Farmer-Chef Connection continues the tradition of creating and sustaining relationships between farmers, ranchers and food buyers. During this one-day event, farmers and ranchers join forces with restaurant chefs, grocery retailers, food service operators, institutional buyers and distributors to cultivate partnerships and strengthen our local food system. Food producers and food buyers, both seasoned professionals and novices alike, will have numerous opportunities to make market connections. All attendees will take part in valuable workshops, and hear from author Daniel Imhoff, who will present his new book - Food Fight: A Citizen's Guide to a Food and Farm Bill.

Please email rachelbwagner@gmail.com for more information.

Show us your cube!

Hello fellow team members,
Over the past few months I have been arranging and re-arranging my cube in hopes of reaching new heights in cube decoration. So here it is, my life's work. I am most proud of the shiny bow on my telephone. Post or comment pictures of your workspaces.
