12/17 Squad Update

Our 12/17/12 squad meeting focused primarily on internal housekeeping issues and included a meeting with General Coordinator Ann Herpel.

The Animal Welfare Committee reported back at the November General Meeting.  We introduced ourselves to new faces and discussed our recent accomplishments, namely the Thanksgiving pamphlet.

We decided to make the Animal WelfareApproved “Food Labeling for Dummies” Guide our primary reference tool when surveying our suppliers and researching the claims on packaging. Check out the Guide if you’re not already familiar with it!

More work has been completed regarding the development of farm vendor/product animal welfare sheets, as well as an editorial calendar for the committee.
