Farm Bill and Herb Bread

The Farm Bill is presently in conference committee. I will call Harkin's and Grassley's offices -- both are on the conference committee -- to encourage them to keep the $11.5B in nutrition in the final bill. Polly had been making our Senate calls. Unless someone steps forward to take this on, I'll do it. Let me know your thoughts.

After the Global conference call last Saturday Leslee came up with the idea of the Jubilee Commission taking on the Herb Bread project at Christ Church. We talked about expanding the customer base and increasing the bread buttering to include Easter as well as Thanksgiving and Christmas. I met with Trudy yesterday and she gave me the information, which I shared with Leslee. The group at the conference call thought one donation per year could be made to RESULTS, one to Swaziland and one to an internal effort. We will talk more about this at the meeting on Monday.
