Hello One Straw members, my name is Yanira (Yani) Cuellar and I am the coordinator for this year’s March 6th Seedy Saturday being held at the Roberts Creek Hall. As a new member of the Coast, I am looking forward to meeting you and working with you to create this wonderful event.

As most of you know, Seedy Saturday is an annual Canadian wide event. For One Straw, it is an important fundraiser but especially important is the opportunity to come together share information, swap seeds and buy plants to help us get started on our gardens.

Thanks to all who attended Sunday's Annual General Meeting. It was a great turnout, and a new Board of Directors has been elected for 2010.

Congratulations to incumbents Catherine Abbott (Treasurer) and Robin Wheeler, and newly-elected Lisa French (Secretary), Mary Deegan (Vice President), and Chris Hergesheimer (President).

If you have any onestraw events or news items that need to be posted on this site, please send an email to tajh@onestraw.ca, and I will post them as soon as possible.

One Straw is working with the Gumboot Restaurants to create awareness and connections between consumers and local organic growers. Certificates for lunch are available for purchase at the Gumboots to be given to your favorite growers for all the hard work they do! Visit either of the Gumboots and see our poster, or call Robin at 885-4505 for more information.
