SUMMARY:Food for Thought and Board of Directors Meeting; Everyone Welcome! [Online; Free; RSVP]
DESCRIPTION:Your co-op’s Board of Directors will meet virtually on Thursday at 6:00 p.m.  Please RSVP here by noon on that Thursday to receive your Zoom link.  Your Zoom link will be emailed to you on the day of the meeting. \nEarly in the meeting agenda\, the board reserves space to hear from owners who wish to address the board.  Want to contribute to our next Board meeting?  Click here and in the subject line put “Owner Comment” and let your voice be heard! \nThis meeting will start with our “Food for Thought” speaker series presentation!   These 20-minute Ted Talk style speeches will take place at the beginning of each board meeting and highlight presenters from diverse and marginalized groups within the Frederick community.  Our hope is to center different voices in order to learn about the joys\, struggles\, and experiences within Frederick and emphasizes our co-op principles of education and concern for community.  Due to limited meeting time\, there will be no Q&A but contact information and resources will be shared for follow up conversations. \nThis month’s Food for Thought presenter is Michael Hughes\, Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer for the Frederick County Government! Long before what has now become “fashionable\,” Michael Hughes\, Frederick County’s first Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer\, was instituting racial and social justice initiatives at several large community serving institutions\, committing decades toward advancing equity and creating welcoming workplaces and communities. \nMichael joined the Frederick County government in November 2020 as a credentialed diversity trainer who is certified in Diversity and Intercultural Competence from Wake Forest University\, and is certified as a civil rights investigator. He has designed professional development courses for conferences\, colleges\, corporations\, and community serving agencies. \nHis work in advancing social justice is not limited to racial equity training. During his 25 years of progressive advancement in higher education\, Michael led Title IX policy design and program launches for multiple colleges to identify and remedy inequities around gender & gender identity; Led a cross-functional team in producing the 5-year web accessibility plan to make campus accessible to faculty and students that are differently abled; Designed and implemented a Restorative Justice model for student conduct efforts for a college that adjudicated over 500 student conduct cases each year.  He has Chaired Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion Committees at multiple institutions\, provided the services of an Ombudsperson\, and conducted numerous investigations of complaints of discrimination. \nWhile focusing efforts upon the critical work of creating and leading institutional and systemic change\, Michael expresses that he never wants to forget the real reason for pursuing diversity\, equity\, and inclusion.  He maintains that the simple truth learned in his theological training to “Love people\, and love the God who made them” keeps him grounded and connected to the “why” that drive his efforts as the County’s Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer. \nUpon accepting the enormous responsibility for advancing diversity\, equity\, and inclusion throughout the County\, Michael immediately began identifying and partnering with those that had been doing the work in the County\, long before he relocated here from North Carolina this past November.  These included leaders from community service and support agencies and the faith community; minority business owners; Frederick County Public School leaders & Higher Education administrators\, and others. \nMichael expresses his gratitude to have the opportunity to participate in this speaker series\, and looks forward to future opportunities for partnership in the work of making Frederick County a more diverse\, inclusive and welcoming community for all.

SUMMARY:Grow your own Gourmet Mushrooms! [Offsite]
DESCRIPTION:Grow your own mushrooms! It is easier to grow mushrooms at home than you think. You can grow delicious and nutritious culinary and medicinal mushrooms in your own garden or home (in apartments\, on rooftops and patios\, too!) In the workshop we will cover how to inoculate stumps\, logs\, wood chips\, and burlap sacks while improving your garden ecology. In this interactive class you will learn the types of outdoor mushrooms that we can easily grow in our area\, the conditions required and the tools you will need. The class will also cover the basics of mushroom science\, how fungi functions in nature and how to work with fungi to help restore our local ecologies. The best part is the hands-on experience of inoculating a mushroom log that you get to take home! \nWorkshops will be outside- rain or shine\, and will be a combination of theory and hands-on practice. Please wear comfortable shoes for walking and bring your own water. Whether you have a little patch of backyard or a huge property to work with\, the principles you learn in this class will help make your land more diverse\, productive\, and ecologically friendly than ever before. \nMichael Judd has worked with agro-ecological and whole-system designs throughout the Americas for over two decades\, focusing on applying permaculture and ecological design. His projects increase local food security and community health in both tropical and temperate growing regions.

Aje is the Founder and Executive Director of I Believe In Me Inc; a Frederick based nonprofit focused on the development and empowerment of urban youth between the ages of 6 and 16. The program offers young men and women an opportunity to obtain academic assistance\, anger management\, peer building skills\, nutritional and hygiene guidance\, as well as participate in outreach programs providing the youth with opportunities outside of their current socioeconomic status. \n“Many times what we perceive as an error or failure is actually a gift.” \nAt one point in his life\, Aje would tell you getting caught was one of the biggest errors he ever made. Choosing the street life over becoming a contributing member to society\, Aje found himself quickly addicted to the hustle; always wanting more. In 2009\, Aje was arrested and faced a twenty year prison sentence; with all but eight years suspended\, over a major drug distribution charge. While incarcerated\, Aje realized he no longer had control over his life and admitted to himself that life had become unmanageable. Through the pain\, the hurt he caused his family\, and the loneliness he faced behind bars\, Aje decided to do one of the hardest things in life; change. He decided to no longer be a menace to society and with strong family support\, love of God\, and many support groups; Aje opened a new chapter to his life and never looked back. \nAje passionately works to deter the youth of today from the same situations and consequences he once faced. Using his personal\nexperiences\, Aje is able to expose the youth to the dangers associated with certain actions and the path those choices will take them on. It is his and the mission of I Believe In Me to inspire and challenge youth through physical and mental activities that foster self -respect and respect for the world around them.

SUMMARY:Chalsa Tasting by Panibus\, a flavor company
DESCRIPTION:Taste Chalsa salsa\, and meet the founder\, at our Rt. 85 store between 2-4 PM\, and at our 7th St. store between 4:30 – 6:30 PM – weather permitting! \n  \nBorn out of a Jersey City kitchen not much larger than a walk in closet\, Chalsa is a function of curiosity and creativity. \nAfter spending one too many late nights in the lab i.e (kitchen) modifying the 1000th batch of my fresh roasted tomatillo salsa\, I realized it wasn’t lacking flavor but meaning. I needed something that transcended the concept of salsa and conforming to my mantra of never following a recipe\, it needed to embrace what made cooking so special to me. The inherent ability to draw from the cultural food palette to invent  flavors that were universally consumed across a spectrum of dishes irrespective of cuisine. \nHaving an existing love for Indian food and culture\, I was inspired by chutney\, a staple meal compliment in Indian cuisine which already shared several of the ingredients with the salsa. Once infused with 7 peppers and 25 fresh ingredients including peaches & mangos\, Chalsa was born. Versatile in use\, delicious in taste\, the mystique of Chalsa  has driven me on a life pursuit to explore the global food landscape and create multidimensional culturally inspired flavors that could be applied to other product staples as well. \nUltimately\, I realized that if you want something you never had\, you have to do something you’ve never done. \n-Tommy Penaherrera\,\nFounder\, Pancibus
