As civic fellow, I co-facilitated these events with Bethany Schroeder, Director <br> of the Ithaca Health Alliance and Ithaca Free Clinic. <br><br> Since these events many people have requested a group to reconvene and continue discussions on food security.<br> Several people have suggested that we explore how a food policy council might serve to support a food system that is equitable and sustainable while meeting the diverse needs of our neighborhoods. Other areas of interest include buying clubs, urban agriculture, food preservation and safety as important aspects of our local food system.<br><br> A light meal will be provided.<br> Child care is available upon advance request.<br><br> This invite is open to the community for anyone interested or involved in our local food system. <br><br> For additional information or to request child care, please do not hesitate to contact me at Cornell Cooperative Extension<br> 607-272-2292 or email at <a href="mailto:es538@cornell.edu">es538@cornell.edu</a>.<br><br> A flyer announcing this event will be available November 29th. Please contact me if you are interested in posting at your workplace, residence or elsewhere in the community.<br><br> Respectfully,<br> Jemila Sequeira<br><br> <br> <x-sigsep><p> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> Jemila Sequeira, MSW<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>T: 607-272-2292x157<br> Whole Community Project<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>F: 607-272-7088<br> Cornell Cooperative Extension<x-tab> </x-tab>C: 607- 280- 7482<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab><br> Tompkins County<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>Email: <a href="mailto:es538@cornell.edu">es538@cornell.edu</a><br> 615 Willow Avenue<br> Ithaca NY 14850<br> </p></x-sigsep></div> </blockquote></div><br></body></html>
