We haven't managed to write here since the end of March. Here's a cheat sheet (for cheating, I guess?) of what's gone down in our lives since then:
- In early April, we managed the Festival of Faith & Music at Calvin College. It was incredible and we really need to write about it soon. Check out the audio on the Festival web site ...
- Shortly thereafter, we took a two week vacation and attempted to do as little as possible--which just about worked.
- *culture is not optional put in an offer to purchase an old elementary school building in Three Rivers, Michigan. We have a lot of ideas for it and we need to raise $20,000 before the end of May if the deal is going to go through. Want to donate? :)
- We're finalizing plans for a speaking tour this summer, details of which will be forthcoming on the *culture is not optional web site. Essentially, the Christian Reformed Church Office of Social Justice is giving us a grant to make our way around to Midwestern congregations to speak about approaching food faithfully.
- We celebrated World Fair Trade Day at World Fare with events on the hour, from potting workshops to film showings to a fair trade cook-off. Sparsely attended, but great fun!
- We published a few issues of catapult magazine in there, too.
Wow ... we really get to be a part of a lot of great stuff! :)
