FOOD at K!

Hello food-obsessed friends, this is a little preview to my choose your own adventure discussion, but I wanted to make you aware of something that very specifically pertains to each of you:

WE NEED YOU in the food movement that is starting on our campus. How do YOU feel about the caf? What do you want to change in it? nothing? everything? Did you know we are opening our food service contract up for bid for the first time in 43 YEARS this spring/summer/fall? This means that by this time next year, the college will have a new contract with a food service provider... it could be sodexo, and it could not. Do you care about who it is? We have a big say in how this goes down, so we need everyone to participate.

We need students on this campus to rally around food and what we want to see in this new bidding process. Because we are already food-minded students on campus, we need to start conversations, and get your friends thinking about food too. Talk about food, and sodexo with everyone you know, and get them thinking about how they feel about the food they eat in the caf. the encourage them to come to the StuComm forum, info below.

There are also a few specific times that we need YOUR help so that we can come together as a student body and have representation from students are thinking about food! The first is tomorrow night from 5-7 PM in the caf, we will be going around to different tables and just getting people talking about food. We need you to come and talk to people!!! If you want to help with this, please come to a prep meeting tonight at 6PM in the service-learning room on the first floor of Dewing (102a). If you can't come to the prep meeting tonight, but want to help tomorrow, meet at 4:45 on the landing outside the caf tomorrow before dinner hours start for a quick briefing.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE NEED YOUR VOICE ON TUESDAY AT 5PM IN THE HARMON LOUNGE FOR A STUCOMM FORUM SURROUNDING FOOD ON CAMPUS! This conversation will be directly with the administration, and we cannot pass up this opportunity to show them that a large number of students care about the food we are eating. This campus is small enough that EVERYONE matters, so please please come.

I know people probably have questions and ideas, so we can talk about it on Tuesday, or feel free to email me.

Thanks so much, we hope to hear you talking... you can make a difference!
Charlotte :)
