Future Meetings and Events

There are several kinds of future events.

  1. Quarterly meetings (at St. Agnes Baking Company)
  2. Monthly meetings (at different locations around the Twin Cities)
  3. Field trips (whenever anybody happens to organize them)
  4. Special events (unpredictable much in advance)

  • Oct. 25, stations meeting and community oven unless somebody puts together a better idea.

2008 Monthly Meeting Schedule

There are currently three monthly meetings on the schedule. (You can volunteer to be a convener for your own montly meeting at a time and place convenient for you. Just let me know if you want to do it.)

2008 Field Trips

No field trips are currently being planned at this time.

2008 Special Events

There is one special event being planned for 2008, the first SPBC picnic. This will be held Sunday, August 10, at Crosby Farm Park in St. Paul. Details are still being settled (start time, ending time, etc.).

Volunteers for the picnic committee are welcome. Just e-mail me to be added to the volunteer list.

There are no other definite plans for any special events for 2008 at this time. However, the response to the meeting with Slow Food Minnesota was so positive that they would like to do it again in 2008. That requires more planning than what Klecko can count on at this time, so this event is a definite maybe.
