Oct. 25th, 2013 18:51Wednesday October 23, 2013 The bookstore at Minneapolis Central Library had a 25 cent sale. Bought a Lonely Planet guide to Papua New Guinea.
***On to the Wedge Coop's annual meeting. It was held at St. Mary's Greek Orthodox Church's event center.
St. Mary's Church's congregation is apparently mostly English-speaking. And not all the surnames are Greek.
Looked at some church literature. They perform marriages to other kinds of Christians, but not to non-Christians. Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons are classed as non-Christians.
This year, the Wedge had charged five dollars for dinner up to a certain date -- to be refunded at the meeting. Purpose: to get a reasonably accurate count of how many people needed to be fed. (And how many were vegetarian or vegan.) After the cut-off date, the cost was ten dollars and not refundable.
The refund turned out to be a Wedge gift card.
Appetizers available during the formal meeting were organically correct, with a good selection of gluten-free items.
Speeches, announcements. And a short film about Gardens of Eagan (organic farm owned by the Wedge) and its associated school. It would have made farming seem attractive to me, if I hadn't grown up in the country.
And then, dinner. I ate well.
