FEASt is Looking for Board Members -- Get Involved Now


Ladies and Gentlemen, Food Education Action -- St. John's is looking for board members to join their ranks. FEASt is a working collective of individuals and organizations taking action on local, healthy, sustainable food issues. Formed in Fall 2007, FEASt is a volunteer-run initiative with over 600 listserv members to date.



The FEASt board needs you!

Yes, we need a hand with some tasty tasks and delicious duties. If you’ve been wondering how to get more involved in FEASt, we might have just the opportunity for you.
  • We need someone to take notes at our meetings, type them up, and send them out.
  • We need someone to chair meetings. This mainly involves compiling meeting agendas (from items the board members send you), attending the meetings, and keeping the conversation ticking along on time.
  • We’re also looking for members at large to take on projects as they come up, and to lend their voices to our dynamic discussions.

FEASt meetings are upbeat and exciting, and they happen twice a month (one full board meeting, and one activities meeting), in the evening. We cover all the food-security topics we care so much about – community gardens, workshop development, events like Open Garden day and FEASt Fest, local partnerships, etc. It feels great to spend time helping local sustainanility initiatives get off the ground, we promise. And then there are the potlucks… the legendary potlucks…
If you’re interested and have a few hours to spare every other week, drop us a line at promotions@feastnl.ca. Let us know which position interests you, and we’ll take it from there.
Thanks!
