Julie’s Slow Food at
the Table Potluck
The Slow Food at the Table Campaign ended in a happy note
when Julie and Traci hosted their Potluck. It was attended by about 15 people.
Tables were prepared outdoors, and everyone brought extravagantly delicious
dishes to share.
I was truly impressed at the number of people that we met
there who were on our Lexicon of Sustainability ”list of interested people to
contact.” We had never met Wendy, but when Peter had a conversation with a few
people, including her, she heard him talk about the Lexicon of Sustainability.
She immediately said to him, “How do you know about Lexicon of Sustainability?
I just heard Douglas, the founder of that organization, speak last week; and I
came home and immediately applied to be a curator for them. I was all excited,
but they told me, “No, because Atlanta already has curators that were just
approved last month!”
Peter had fun responding to her by just giving her a tilt of
his head, a smile, pointing to himself and saying, “Yes, that would be my wife
and me!” Wendy was amazed that she had just run into us at a random party. We’ve already been exchanging emails about
plans for her to help with the Lexicon project.
Two others whose names we recognized were Lois, who
represents Agnes Scott College for us, and Paula, whom Julie had recommended to
us. By the end of the evening, both of them were eager to become Docents for
our Lexicon of Sustainability Pop Up Shows! We set up a date for next week to
get together to do a training and set a schedule!
And that’s what the Slow Food at the Table Campaign has been
all about…getting together, meeting new friends, seeing friends we’ve known for
a long time, and eating our hearts out on local, seasonal, organic, wonderfully
prepared food.
Brava, Julie, your Potluck was a roaring success! We may
have to keep having those regularly, with or without the campaign, don’t you
agree?!
