| Hello
Everyone, We wish
to extend a very hearty "Thank you!" to Ron & Terri for hosting
a fabulous Spring Potluck from Costa Mesa. For those of you who were unable to
attend, Pamela discussed the history of Macrobiotics in the OC since 1991 and
we passed out a very important questionnaire.
We are looking to get your feedback regarding the future of the group! Some of
the questions are…What purpose is Macrobiotics in your life? What do you need
from the group? It is very important that we hear from each of you. Let’s help
each other as we journey towards better health. Congratulations
Pamela! Your Tempeh Chili was April's Favorite
Dish! It was neck and neck with two fabulous desserts; Ron & Sue's creation,
the Raspberry
Trifle, and the Blueberry
Whip created by Robin & Cynde. And both deserve honorable mention. Among
the 21 attendees were several brand new faces. It looked like everyone enjoyed
themselves, and we thank: Sandy
Monica
Michele
NIcole
Mary
& Jody for
coming and bringing your wonderful dishes. We look forward to seeing you again
at May's Potluck in Villa Park at Don & Kaja's home! This
is the first Newsletter since February and is being written in order to welcome
Francene to the Secretary position. She will be carrying forward the tradition
of monthly Newsletters, so keep a look out for Francene's newsletter in June!
. . . Thanks again Francene for stepping forward to fill the Secretary's
position! We are still looking for a Treasurer and Event Planner. If you are interested,
please contact Pamela at 714-378-9418. On
a similar expansion note, we have a gal who's willing to work with an Event Planner.
She has been an event planner for years and knows the ropes. Is there anyone out
there who'd like to take on this position and get the skinny and help from someone
who knows?!! E-mail us at info@ocmacros.com
for more info! Francene
has been busy assuming many of the functions of secretary, and in addition, was
responsible for creating the wonderful questionnaire
which everyone needs to fill in and submit to us. It's an exciting time of change
and we want to hear what you need and want your Macrobiotic community's future
to be. We've formed up and have been organizing to help support you, your family
and friends in a commitment to a Macrobiotic lifestyle. The future is in your
hands! But we need your feedback first! So
take a minute, would you, and fill in the survey?
E-mail us if you'd like to have
one mailed to you instead. Well,
