Foodlums Minutes 4-25-08
At Friday's meeting, we mostly just talked about plans for the Earth Day celebration, which was cancelled. I'll convey the plans below, just so we can remember how devoted we all were.
Earth Day
Drinks
- 6 kegs of Sprecher's rootbeer-- zac will get them in the morning
- Biodegradable cups not yet recieved in mail.... buying paper ones in case the biodegradable ones aren't in ben's mail box by the time we need them.
- water and ice recepticals need to be cleaned. we have 5 water barrels, 2 coolers for ice, and 2 tubs for ice and kegs. to clean dilute 1T bleach to 1 gallon of water and slosh it around until all surfaces have been disinfected. then rinse the recepticals out with water-- a few times.
-pricing for drinks is as follows: water cup - $.50
rootbeer (includes cup) - $1.00
rootbeer re-fill- $.50
water- FREE
Sat. morning schedule:
Group #1 meeting in garden at 9am to load dane's truck w/ compost, potting soil, and wagon.
Group #2 meeting in chancellor's lobby at 9am to disinfect and load ice into water barrels and coolers.
in retrospect:
Wendy was on TV with Judy Clark to promote the Earth Day festivities at 5 on friday :)
King Corn (the last progressive film fest film we were responsible for) was shown on friday night at 8. popcorn was served and corey and zac sacrificed themselves in order to pop popcorn during the film.
everything was loaded and ready to go. unfortunatly the earthday celebration was called off at the last minute due to cold and wind and snow, that, everyone decided they didn't love the earth enough to brave.
a foolums earth day potluck occured at davin's at 6 on saturday night with tasty food and fun.

Compost is coming in on Mon. morning! Bagging is being organized by me (Briana).
Earth Day
-rootbeer (1/2 barrel), juice, water (radio flier wagon and the shopping cart as tranportation), and jolly good (possibly in cans).
-plans to plant the council oak have gone... shady. the tree ceremony on the wed. after earth day may turn into just planting a tree for earth day instead of the official council oak.
Progressive Film Fest.
-Black Gold Mon. April 21 8pm Hibbard 100
-The Price of Sugar Thur. April 24 8pm Hibbard 100
-King Corn Fri. April 25 8pm Hibbard 100
-we should get some fliers circulating.... Kerri?
Garden Stuff
-the garden supply drive is still in the starting-up phase
-grow light option. we have 2 that have come out of the woodwork
-seductively more environmentally friendly alternative to grow lights-- making a cold frame/ hot box/ hot house with straw bales for walls for insulation and a sheet of clear plastic on top so we could just start a lot of the seeds in the garden
-contact Jarel if you'd be game for starting some seeds in your windows at home. just think of all the fun you can have with your sprouting seeds singing to them, reading them books, telling them about your day. he will assign you a seed. Ane suggests Seed Folks for story time with your seeds.
-collect your egg shells (pereferably broken into perfect halves) and egg cartons so we can use them to start seeds in and can just stick them in the ground with the eggshells and all. Dr. Hupy points out that this way, the eggshells will conveniently help to bring the pH of the soil closer to 7! BINGO
-another plan for seed-starting containers is teh coir-based pot which is made of coconut hair (more sustainable than the peat-based pot). Jane will buy a butt load of them using the weathered $5 bill that was found in the garden supply pile a few weeks ago.
-set aside Sun. April 20th... for a GARDEN HOLIDAY. we will be doing work in the garden and most importantly, building hot boxes/ hot houses/ cold frames (whatever you like to call them)
It's time for a much-needed foodlums Hoobob. the hoobob will occur on the weekend of the earthday celebration on saturday evening. location has yet to be determined.

AWESOME LOCAL FOODS WEEK!
We started out the meeting with reflections on our money situation:
- the hot dog sale raised $367.30 - $115 that bought the hot dogs and buns.
- we still owe Dane $110 from the last sale and Zac $120 from various food that he bought.
- the econ. department is going to give us $50 (WHOA! nice!)
- we have $200 pending from student senate
- compost will cost $425 (but we'll get it back plus more after we sell it)
- we want to have at least $120 so that we can have hot dog sales in the future
- a certain amount of money will be necessary for buying drinks that we will be selling at earth day
- we still need to buy an animal from Heifer International (probably around half of what we earned at the hot dog sale after expenses-- about $126.)
- garden supplies need replenishing, which might cost us around $80
- materials to start cold frames... around $100
- there are $540 in our account right now (excluding any money mentioned above)
-- It is suggested that we wait until we have paid for the compost, raised some money from compost sales, and gotten on our feet again (a few more weeks) until we buy the animal or animals for Heifer International.
Jen suggested starting a garden supply drive for community gardens in the area that we could benefit from as well, so she's the head of that committee. Hopefully we'll get a lot of donations from the community and then we won't have to spend as much on garden supplies.
Garden stuff.
- we need lights for starting seeds, old yogurt cartons, cold frame material,
Earth Day
- Judy Clark from TV 13 wants to do an interview April 25 @5. Ane and Wendy are on it.
- our next plan is to sell refreshments at the foodlums table. The decision was made to have a water crew that will refill big water dispensers and to have kegs of different sodas that come from in-state (point rootbeer, jolly good sodas..) Ben is in charge of the refreshment committee.
Farmers market
-last indoor farmers market is this coming saturday at Trinity church -- the one on Clairmont with the ski jump roof
-outdoor farmers market starts first saturday in may. We're gonna be there!
Chair person Wiley Report
-wed. april 23rd (the day after earth day!) there will be a tree dedication ceremony on the campus mall to re-plant the council oak.

Chair Person Wiley report
- A new oak tree is going to be planted symbolizing the tree of excellence
Garden
- Since we don't have access to the green house this year, the plan is to have individual members start plants in their places of residence providing they have enough light.
- Cold frames will be needed to get plants started in the garden. We can use our funds to invest in cold frame materials.
- We're starting to toss around ideas for what we all really want in the garden. Beans such as pintos and lentils were suggested, along with herbs.
The silent film mentioned at a previous meeting is starting to be made. The topic is students healthy eating in the area. Talk to the film maker Laura Sukowatey sukowalm@uwec.edu for more info.

Garden
- Since we don't have access to the green house this year, the plan is to have individual members start plants in their places of residence providing they have enough light.
- Cold frames will be needed to get plants started in the garden. We can use our funds to invest in cold frame materials.
- We're starting to toss around ideas for what we all really want in the garden. Beans such as pintos and lentils were suggested, along with herbs.
The silent film mentioned at a previous meeting is starting to be made. The topic is students healthy eating in the area. Talk to the film maker Laura Sukowatey sukowalm@uwec.edu for more info.
