THIS WEEK!
Greetings!
First and foremost, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Hope you all enjoyed some much needed rest, tons of leftovers and good family and friends.
Just a quick note, we will be doing a phone banking event next Thursday, DECEMBER 4th at our Office (4173 Macarthur Blvd Suite 10). If you or anyone you know might be interested in coming out on Thursday night from 6pm-8pm to make some phone calls and spread the word about Oakland Food Connection, please let us know!
We will be making food for our lovely volunteers so please let us know if you'll be able to come by so that we know how much food to make! This is a great way to get a few extra volunteering hours in, meet some new people and learn a little bit more about OFC!
Phone Banking Thursday, December 4th 6-8pm OFC Office 4173 Macarthur Blvd Suite 10
Please RSVP by Wednesday, December 3rd.

Also, I'd just like to extend my gratitude to all the wonderful people I've met and things I've learned in the last 6 months.
Working at Oakland Food Connection has been a life-changing experience for me in the most positive way, and I am thankful to each and every person and event that has shaped that experience for me.
I will be leaving OFC (temporarily) on December 13th to finish up my degree in Community Studies at UC Santa Cruz. The new year will bring all sorts of new opportunities to Oakland Food Connection and I can't wait to come back and see how the organization has grown.
Thank you all very much for your support and guidance and I will see you in Spring 2009!
In Peace and Solidarity,
Tori Lanterman Oakland Food Connection tori@foodcommunityculture.org
