A Moveable Feast 2020

Jan 17, 2020 | In The News, Past Events

The Joshua Levine Memorial Foundation and Slow Food East End
Proudly Present “A Moveable Feast”

This Event Has Been Cancelled

Greetings Friends of SFEE:

In light of concerns about coronavirus, we have made a difficult, but necessary, decision to cancel this year’s “A Moveable Feast.”

It was difficult, because the support you provide is used for our 30 school gardens, but also our Master Farmers, the Chef to School Program, and many other events we sponsor and support. It is the right decision; your health and wellbeing means more to us. 

There have been months of planning and many hours of hard work leading up to this event. I’m sure you can imagine this, especially if you’ve attended before! 

It is a special evening. 

  • Filled with food from talented local chefs, delicious local wine and beer and great camaraderie. 
  • Wonderful volunteers do so much to make it run smoothly. 
  • We are above and beyond grateful for the generous support from our sponsors and businesses as well as our local community!! 
  • And of course the fabulous items donated to our silent auction, from gift certificates, to experiences, gift baskets, are all so important to help us reach our goals. 

So what now? After all, those gardens still need tending!

  • If you are a ticket holder, we hope you would like to turn your ticket into a donation. We believe now more than ever, teaching our kids about local, from seed to plant to fork, is such a big part of their health, as well as that of our local economy. (Your donation is fully tax deductible as allowed by law).
  • If you want a refund, please reply to this email either way.

Good News

  • Our Silent Auction will be live online in a week or so! Same great items there for your bidding. 
  • We will send you your winning gift certificate or deliver your bigger gift anywhere on the East End! It’s easy to bid, check your email and our social-media for more details. 

SFEE, as well as all the world, is watching and doing our best to be diligent in quelling the spread of COVID-19. When this has passed, we look forward to breaking bread together, to give and get hugs and to support the beautiful East End together. 

Yours in Health, 

Dr. Pennie Schwartz, Chair, Slow food East End

Whatever you do, please join Slow Food East End for a wind-down Community Potluck at the beautiful and cozy Orient Inn.

Guest Speaker – Pennie Rudder will be joining us to describe her work with the very successful Chefs to Schools Program piloted last Spring. Pennie has an educational background in nutrition and biochemistry coupled with a curious spirit, which fuels her passion for sharing how food connects people, affects the environment and is so much fun to cook and eat!  She has taught cooking to children, developed a wellness program for a company and a farmers market, helped in food rescue and recently set up Our Little Pantry in Greenport.

 
Also this evening, Slow Food East End will proudly celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Slow Food International–a great achievement!

North Fork Hunger Forum and Film

Showing “A Place at the Table”

 

Join us as we screen “A Place at the Table: A Documentary on Hunger in America”

The film will be followed by a panel discussion with

TOM COLICCHIO, Chef/Producer
LORI SILVERBUSH, Film Director/Producer
ELLEN TELLER, FRAC Director of Government Affairs
ROBERT CARPENTER, Executive Director, Long Island Farm Bureau
DR. FATEMA MEAH, Peconic Pediatrics
