Membership Drive Extended!

Because of the overwhelming response, the powers that be at Slow Food USA have decided to extend the membership drive through October 15. For 2 more weeks, a gift of ANY amount will make you a member.

Slow Food USA member and supporter Donald Sussman, the offer is even more compelling: Mr. Sussman has offered to match all donations, dollar for dollar, given as part of this extended membership drive.

PEANC Earth Day

Traditionally observed on April 22, Earth Day brings to light environmental issues and global awareness activities geared toward Earth's preservation.

The 2009 Piedmont Earth Day Fair hosted by PEA (Piedmont Environmental Alliance) took place Saturday, April 18 at Wake Forest University.

There was food, drink, music, and many "green" enthusiasts out to share, learn and gather information.

How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick? None. He didn't can these guys, Nathan did.


That's how we roll.
