SUMMARY:Braver Angels FREE Depolarizing Within Workshop In-Person
DESCRIPTION:Building Bridgers is partnering with Braver Angels in offering their powerful FREE workshop DEPOLARIZING WITHIN. \nWe risk fueling the fire that threatens our country by how we talk about people who hold different political views. Want to understand how to talk differently? Why? \nBecause we need to find a solution to our nation’s big problems; we cannot do that if we see the “other side” as enemies or strangers. There is a lot of stress these days among families and friends who are divided politically. \nProcess:\nLearn what is involved in developing attitudes\, words\, and using ways to talk with folks on the “other” side with whom we share a national past and future. \nGoals:\nDiscover how to be more aware of your own “inner polarizations”; learn how to be critical without demonizing\, dismissing\, or stereotyping; understand how to handle political and social conversations with peers when these turn to contempt or ridicule for people with different views. https://braverangels.org/\n* * * * * * *\nComplementary food and beverages will be served. Eventbrite registration is required: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/depolarizing-within-southern-oregon-alliancebuilding-bridgers-registration-891329940847?aff=oddtdtcreator&discount=BRAVER

SUMMARY:Rogue Valley Farm to School Celebrates 15 Years!
DESCRIPTION:TURNIP THE BEET! Celebrate Rogue Valley Farm to School’s 15th anniversary with the Eight Dollar Mountain Trio and Friends\, dancing\, a rousing raffle\, food\, wine\, and beer. \nJoin us from 4-8 p.m.\, June 29\, at Fry Family Farm\, 2184 Ross Lane\, Medford. Click here to buy tickets: bit.ly/3wZnjUa. \nHANLEY FARM — “Don’t yuk my yum!” Rogue Valley Farm to School educator Meghan Murphy reminds a bushel of third graders from Central Point as they gather for lunch at Hanley Farm\, just outside Jacksonville. On the menu today: radishes. \nStarted in 2009\, Rogue Valley Farm to School (RVF2S) is part of a national network that connects schools\, local farmers\, and communities\, cultivating healthy kids and local economies alike. \nIn this enormously successful program\, students gain access to healthy local foods\, to be sure. But they also gain educational opportunities that include weekly classes — taught by a member of the RVF2S staff — about living and eating healthy\, school gardens\, cooking lessons\, and farms visits\, two per year. \nEach month\, school-based educators also serve samples of a local\, seasonal fruit or vegetable to students in their own cafeteria. This month\, the featured vegetable has been — you guessed it — radishes. \n“Everything we do is about building a culture of health\, about forging relationships and connections around growing food\,” says co-executive director Rebecca Slosberg. The economic benefits are real\, too. A recent study by the nonprofit Ecotrust found that for every dollar allocated through Oregon’s Farm to School program for procurement of Oregon grown and processed foods\, two dollars of economic activity is generated in the local economy.
