If you’re in Seattle, don’t miss tonight’s Strengthening Local Economies Everywhere Dinner & Fair, put on by Community Alliance for Global Justice!  The event is a fundraiser for CAGJ.

It’s at St. Demetrios Church, 2100 Boyer Avenue E, in the Montlake neighborhood of Seattle.  There’s a free fair from 3-6, dinner of delicious local foods from 6-9, and dancing to live music from Portage Bay Big Band from 9-11.  Admission is $35, or $12 for students/low-income/seniors, and $65 if you want to sponsor a farmer or food worker as an honored guest.  There is also a silent auction at the event.

The event highlights local food and local economy.  Workshops include bee keeping, meal planning, and understanding coffee certification.  Keynote speaker is Steve Williamson from United Food and Commercial Workers Local 21 on food workers’ rights in the global food economy. 

I’ll be volunteering for part of the night.  Come say hi and, if you’re a dancer, grab me for a dance!  Hope to see you there.
