[Shelly Cobb]

YOU ARE INVITED!

Please come to a film screening of *FRESH* the movie, on Tuesday, July 28.
Hope Dance film announcement below. This is a positive, uplifting film about
that is both informative and entertaining!

Before the film, we will have a FRESH food reception with fresh local food
samples, products and information provided by IV Co-op, Fairview Gardens,
Avalon Farms, Shepherd Farms, Jessica Foster Confections, Cadena's Fresh
Fish and many others.

Please forward this invitation to friends and family members who are
passionate about local food and saving our local farmland!

*FRESH *was selected as our June film for several reasons:

   - to invite the community into a discussion about the importance of
our *LOCAL
   FARMS*
   - to raise community awareness about the push to rezone Eastern Goleta
   farmland for housing
   - to encourage the community's involvement in the Goleta Valley Planning
   Advisory Committee
(GVPAC)<http://longrange.sbcountyplanning.org/planareas/goleta/gvpac.php>
   - to better understand how we can support our local farmers

To this end, all *LOCAL FARMERS* are invited to lead/join in the discussion
after the film!

Also invited to lead and/or join the discussion are* *the* **Santa Barbara
Food Not Lawns*, *Santa Barbara Food Future*, *Santa Barbara Transition Town

Barbara Organic Gardening Club*, as well as activists, chefs, and
