2006 annual membership meeting recap
More than 200 PCC members gathered at the Center for Urban Horticulture for the 2006 annual meeting on May 2 — besting our 2005 attendance record. Board chair Bob Cross assured the standing-room-only crowd that the board will be looking for an even larger venue for next year’s meeting.
Following a brief business session that featured state-of-the-co-op reports from the board and management, the board candidates were introduced and gave short presentations to the membership.
The educational component of our meeting focused on the efforts being made in our region to improve childhood nutrition. A panel discussion featured reports from Goldie Caughlan and Tim Crosby, both members of the new Seattle Public Schools Nutrition Advisory Committee; Ann Lanning, co-chair of the Bellevue PTSA Health and Wellness committee; Farm-to-Cafeteria participant Andrew Stout of Full Circle Farm; and Alison Leber, administrator of the Beecher’s Flagship Program, which works to educate children on how to make good food choices.
A delicious, seasonal organic menu was planned especially for the meeting by Rita Condon, one of our staff nutrition educators, and was executed beautifully by the Fremont and Issaquah PCC delis.
