Celebrate International Day of Peace & Eat Local Month with MAU.

As many of you know, this month is Nashville Eat Local Month, as well as National Food Security month, which assuredly have much to do with greening up our lives. These pieces are in alignment with Mothers Acting Up and our Mother Agenda (1. champion the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to eradicate extreme poverty, 2. protect the environment for Kids’ Sake, and 3. measure the true impact of war).

On the third Friday of each month Nashville’s Mothers Acting Up community hosts a Bring the Family Potluck Social & Salon. In celebration of Eat Local and Food Security Month, tomorrow evening we encourage attendees to bring potluck dishes comprised of local ingredients where possible and a small panel of local food and security experts / enthusiasts will be on hand to share their knowledge and resources with us.

When: Friday September 21, 2007 6-8 PM

Where: Nashville Friends’ Meeting House, 26^th Ave at Torbett, off Charlotte Ave

Bring a dish of local fare to share, any books or magazines you on topic that you might wish to share, and a heaping helping of enthusiasm. Families of all kinds welcome. We’re a nursing / intergenerational / sexual orientation / all race, ethnicity and class welcoming group!!

I hope to see some of y’all there,

Paige

PS: as tomorrow—9/21-- is International Day of Peace, Nashville MAU celebrates in our community during our Mobilize the Mamas play & action group by participating for a second year in the global Chalk for Peace event. We’ll be festively dressed, babes and children in tow, to chalk at the Centennial Park Playground from 10-noon, asking passersby and regular park goers to join the action. You’re all welcome to come out and make sidewalk art. Bring water and snacks to share if you care to.
