NEXT GATHERING
What do we eat? Do we choose to buy local or organic? Which is better?
Should we join a food co-op? How do we share our food with those we
are living with? What if we decide to grow our own food?

Please join us for the next Network of Intentional Communities meeting
where we will host a roundtable discussion about food issues and how
communities deal with them. We will share best practices that other
communities have found around making food choices and also work to
brainstorm new ones. This will be an opportunity to connect to various
intentional communities in Chicago and also learn a little bit about
our food system. Anyone who is interested in community is welcome. We
are also hoping to discuss some logistics like what people want out of
this group and the creation of a webpage.

Sunday, January 10th, 4-7pm
