January 13, 2010

Too late to write all that happened, but maybe I can list it:
1). Talk with Mama D's about buying organic greens and produce from both BRHS greenhouse program and community garden. Also discussed beautification of the "Gateway" to Boothbay Harbor and benefits of Eco-Tourism to our Tourism economy.

2). Student Health Advisory Meeting at BRHS: Food improvement initiative
made strides today in having Dan Welch, BRHS principal, attend meeting to back up the kids desire to have an expanded salad bar and healthful sandwich bar added to the lunch options. A list was drafted and students signed on to meet with Darlene French of Food Services to make these positive changes.

3). Talked to Bill Smith about the trip to the AEWC at Orono, the windblade
testing company that is part of the university with the Wind blade competition team and other interested students at BRHS. This trip will happen in Feb or March.

4). Long talk with Tracey Hall about the LAPP vision and how it ties in with her work with Lisa McSwain on getting permission to have a community garden at Penny Lake. Tracey is totally on board to help with the High School aspect of the vision including work in the design of and function of the new greenhouse.

5). Visited Neil Lash at Medomak Valley High School to see the mixed greens growing operation up close in the winter months. He is very knowledgeable and very willing to share his knowledge with the students and staff of BRHS in a pending field trip.

5). Great talk with Ntina tonight about creating artwork for LAPP members.

which leads me to my excitement over creating artwork for all of this, including this blog!
