> Good Morning!
>>
>> I wanted to inform you of a wonderful event that will be happening
>> in Newport, Rhode Island, on December 3rd. Newport Community
>> Garden and Positively Newport Schools will be presenting the film
>> "Two Angry Moms" (www.angrymoms.org) for a preview screening. The
>> film will be shown at the Jane Pickens Theater (janepickens.com),
>> Monday, December 3rd, at 7:00 p.m. and due to an overwhelming
>> response of sponsorships of the event, the film will be shown free
>> to the public! This is important to us as we want all parents to
>> feel they are invited and can be part of the solution.
>>
>> This is a thought-provoking film that discusses the importance of
>> joining together to change the food situation for our school
>> children. The film details the current children's health crisis
>> and gives concrete steps to help individuals understand how they
>> can help to change the food to feature more local, organic,
>> healthy choices for our children. It is an inspiring film in that
>> it shows how two "regular" moms were surprised to find out how
>> their children were eating in school and documents how they went
>> about finding reasons why certain foods were being offered and
>> then what they could do to help foster change.
>>
>> Following our screening, there will be a panel discussion
>> featuring a holistic nutritionist, Dorothy Brayley (Executive
>> Director of KidsFirst), John Turenne (sustainablefoodsystems.com
>> and a Chef featured in the film), a pediatrician and myself
>> (representing community/school gardening as the founder of Newport
>> Community Garden).
>>
>> We are showing this film in hopes of filling the Jane Pickens
>> Theater (547 seats available!) with folks interested in helping to
>> change the system so that we can feed our kids healthy, fresh,
>> local foods in our schools, while teaching them the numerous
>> benefits of such a novel idea.
>
> I am forwarding this information in hopes that anyone close to
> Newport, Rhode Island, could make the trip down to view the film
> and help be a part of the change! Please forward this e-mail to
> anyone you know in the area who may be interested in
> attending! I also have a colorful e-mail pdf flyer that I can send
> along to anyone who would like it for their office, school,
> community, etc., that was too large to include in this e-mail.
>>
>> If you would like further information, please contact me by e-mail
>> at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
