Foodlums Minutes 10/24/08
Sustainability Week
Went well
The week provides us with a framework for Earth Week and next fall's Sustainability Week (maybe a week or two earlier when it's warmer)
Dining Contract Meetings
no one went this week but some people went the week before and put in their two cents.
Hot Dog Sale
There may or may not still be hotdogs to buy from Hickory. Give him an e-mail if you're interested. tatehr@uwec.edu
Pesto
We still have some we can make, but there are several good-sized baggies of pesto in Ane's freezer now. At the meeting people thought $3.50- 4 per bag (they're reasonable sized bags)
Trayless Petition
We got some signatures during sustainability week, but we still need a lot more.
I would send on a copy of the petition so everyone can get signatures, but I can't find one. There is one partially filled signature sheet in the foodlums locker in one of the files.
“Menu for the Future”
Happening at the EC Public Library—Nov. 4, 11, 18 and Dec. 2
Open to the public but space is limited so you should sign up asap. Just go to the L.E. Phillips Library website and find it there.
Human Rights Awareness Conference
Put on by student senate and last year foodlums put on a presentation
Week of Nov. 10th and they are looking for presenters from 10-4 mon. - thur.
Someone know something that they would be interested in presenting about dealing with food? or even if you just want to research something enough to be able to present on it.
Corey will contact with Equal Exchange from the cities to see if she would like to talk about fair trade.
Accessing Local Markets and Buyers workshop
In Viroqua Nov. 14th-- touches on the business and marketing aspect of local food.
Zac went last year and will be going again this year, so contact him with questions or lewd comments. barneszj@uwec.edu
Sustainable Agriculture conference in Madison
Oct 31-Nov.1 Dr. Jamelski and Dr. Hupy will be on the presenting side of the conference as well as Dylan and Corey
Ane, Emilie, Danielle, and Briana will be attending as well.
Progressive dinner happened on Friday
Garden
garlic was planted on Friday-- one patch on the tomato side and one patch on the shady side as an experiment to analyze the effect of our sun situation on garlic growth
Other ideas for winter planting-- maybe kohlrabi?
Also, who has knowledge on how to winterize strawberries, raspberries?
Shed
Shed plans are on hold and may be terminated because it turns out the okay we previously got wasn't the official okay and now the plan needs to be approved through the state.
Composting on campus
Results on lower campus were pretty awesome-- 1 ton of food waste for the week. Emilie says to keep in mind that some rain got on it so it's hard to tell how accurate that measurement is.
Collection increased as the week went on, so it would just require people catching on.
Upper campus trial coming soon.

Foodlums Minutes October 17th 2008
Hello all you dedicated and soon-to-be-dedicated foodlums!
Jasmine is swamped with things to do this semester and is steping down from the vice president position. A new vice president was sworn in at the meeting- Dave-o the pirate, David Hon.
Campus Sustainability Days
-Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week drop by for tabling 11-2 either in davies or on the campus mall.
-check out the attached schedule to see what other super fun stuff is going on this week. You could easily fill a day and night with the programs that are planned. note that the canoe river clean up that is sponsored by the hobnailers(which sounds especially exciting) has limited space.
- Trayless edifisc building (to show the volume of food wasted in a cafeteria each day) still needs to happen but has been postponed due to lack of needed statistics. Be on the lookout for a desperate cry-for-help email in the next day or two.
Dining Contract meetings
-There are still meetings this week for us to voice our interest in local food and sustainibly produced food at the meetings concerning the new dining contract.
Monday 5-6:30 alumni room
Tuesday 11:30-1 presidents room
Pesto Making happened Sat. night. we made a good amount, so if anyone's interested in purchasing a price will be decided upon at the next meeting, so stay posted.
PROGRESSIVE DINNER will be happening Friday (october 24)
-If you plan on coming, RSVP to Briana (odegarbn@uwec.edu) by wednesday so we can get an approximate count of people.
-the dinner will start with appetizers at Corey's (223 apt. C Hudson St.) and continue on to Ane's and Dylan's for main course and dessert.
-bring $5 to reimberse the hosts for food costs.
Garden
There are a butt-load of green tomatoes in the garden on the concrete mushroom. It'd be great if people could come get them and keep them in a paper bag with a ripe tomato or two to ripen them so we can preserve them either by simply freezing or canning or some technique that can later be decided upon.
Just Local Foods is in the process of moving to the former Johnny's Market site.
They'll need help monday, so if anyone can help out, stop by the store or e-mail zac (barneszj@uwec.edu)
Can't wait to see everyone tabling and going to events during campus sustainability days!!!!! !!!! !!
