At the meeting  forming the Steering Committee it was decided to hold off on the official launch of the CFPC until the appointment of the new WSU Extension Agent to replace Curtis Beus,
I am excited to say that our own Clea Rome has been appointed to that position and will take up the role on the 1st February 2012.
The Steering Committee suggests an on-line format for the Council as we are well spread geographically. I look forward to working with Clea in her role as Washinton State University Extension Agent for Clallam County furthering our work toward sustainability.

The League of Women Voters of Clallam County held an Educational Forum on the 16th April in Sequim at the St Luke's Episcopal Church.

It was well attendded and lots of interesting discussion topics came up.  The three speakers, Michelle Simpson of Sappho, Patti McManus-Huber of Sequim and William Aal of Seattle, spoke clearly and informativley on the subjects they know best. They shared their knowledge of the impact that the GMO and GE revolution is having on our food and our food source and gave us food for thought on this special topic. 

The event was elegantly presented.
