About
This is our biggest and best potluck supper of the year. It’s also the time when you can “meet the candidates” for Slow Food East End’s board and learn more about our events, educational programs and goals for the future. Most of all, it’s FUN! The Annual Meeting is free and open to all.
Unlike most international organizations, Slow Food has local chapters. We’re all about “local” here on the East End. Slow Food East End offers you an opportunity to get involved in the food movement at the grassroots level.
