Mark your calendar!
We invite you to join us again on Monday, June 12th at 6:30pm to celebrate food, farming, and the power of collective action. We meet on the second Monday of every month at ‘Ai Love Nalo (in the back courtyard garden area), 41-1025 Kalanianaole Hwy, Waimanalo, HI 96795.
This month’s meeting will address many concerns our membership has been facing regarding invasive species and food safety. Aurora Saulo, Professor and Extension Specialist in Food Technology at UH-Manoa's CTHAR, will speak about Rat Lung Worm and food safety. We are also fortunate to have Rachel Neville, Operations Manger for the Oahu Invasive Species Council, who will talk about their work to combat invasive pests such as the Little Fire Ant.
Finally, we are also excited to have a cooking demonstration by Nina Cucina, a true master at transforming local produce into delicious meals, and continue with our "Open Mic" forum to give Chapter members an opportunity to share any information they may have that might be of interest to other members. If you would like to make an announcement, please sign in at the desk when you come!
