VERY important INFO

There have been NO applications received from the Tri-Valley Team by the membership manager of Evergreen Food & Goods Rescue.

EVERYONE MUST FILL A NEW APPLICATION OUT AND MAIL IT TO THE ADDRESS ON THE APPLICATION. EVEN THE NEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUST JOINED. YOU MUST HAVE IT POST MARKED BY AUGUST 20, 2010 IN ORDER TO HAVE IT READY FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING.

IT MUST BE TOTALLY COMPLETE OR SHE WILL MAIL IT BACK TO YOU UNPROCESSED.

The annual meeting will be at 10am on Sept. 11 at the same place as
last year. More info for the meeting will be emailed and posted next week.

Calendar Posted

I've added a page for the calendar; just click the link to the RIGHT.
It's under the heading "GLEANER INFORMATION"
the one that says "calendar" .
Now we can check on when a run is scheduled to come in.

FUN!

I plan to also have a page that will have some job responsibilities -
and some common gleaner terms defined...

What is a driver expected to do?
What does a cleaner need to clean?
Who is in charge of sharing?
What is a RUN?

I could post the roster, but I don't want my info floating out in cyberspace... Do you guys want a roster online, or is an emailed roster enough?

Maybe I might throw some more recipes up there... Just for fun.
Are there any other items our blog should address?
Thanks for your input,
Alyce

Leftovers. Use it up.

Once we get our rescued goods from the shed, it seems like a crime to let them go to waste. I love creative ways to use leftovers or surplus. Usually it's soup.
This week I've made strawberry vanilla bean jam, strawberry rhubarb pie and rosemary rhubarb jelly. YUM-town.
I also saw an inspiring post with some great leftover ideas on the Tasty Kitchen Blog. Check out this link to tasty kitchen leftovers ideas.

Sample Update

This is our BLOG.

If I receive a quick email with details of the contents of each run, I can re-post them right HERE. They will be updated daily. Newest posts will appear at the top. The older information will be archived by month. Then you can all check in whenever you are interested, or on you way to the shed. Any posts will also have one or more "labels" assigned to them, which you can help you find post regarding a specific topic.

We can also post other interesting information here... I'll throw up a couple sample links on the sidebar to the right.

I'm really excited to be able to have the information available to everybody. And to know if a stop by the shed before grocery shopping is worth the trip. It will save our family time, gas, and money.

If you would like to give me some feedback on anything, please leave a comment.

More information to come.
