February 24th (Monday), 7 PM "In Organic We Trust" movie and discussion
Most people eat organic food because they think it is healthier. But is organic food really better for us or just a marketing scam?
When corporations got into the "organic" business the meaning of "organic" labeling changed.
This thought provoking movie's post movie discussion will be attended by Lisa Barclay and Monica LeRoux, Food Co-op Board Members from the Member Engagement Committee, and by Brendon O'Shea, the Co-op's "Local Cultivator".
Once you open the PDF movie series poster, you can click on the link for each movie's trailer. Attend as many as interest you, all over Jefferson County. Each movie will have post-movie discussions for those who wish to stay. Movie events, while all FREE, will gratefully accept donations at the door to defray costs. No one turned away!

| The latest repair, a new faucet |
Old buildings like Quimper Grange hall are full of surprises. A faulty breaker turns into replacing the whole breaker box, placing a vapor barrier under the hall leads to discovery of powder post beetle damage, a dripping faucet turns into a faucet replacement. We are slowly eliminating the need for unanticipated repairs however we aren't out of the woods yet.
The handful of us tasked with maintaining the hall are doing so on a voluntary basis and we truly appreciate the community support that makes it possible to fix these unexpected surprises.
In December we sent out a donor appeal in the mail and only 17 people have responded so far. Thank you donors! If you haven't done so you can send a check of any amount to:
Quimper Grange
PO Box 1844
Port Townsend, WA 98368
If you donate $35 or more you can rent our hall at a 25% discount for private events that do not charge an admission.
