SDA Meeting-monday october 13th

It's time for our monthly meeting, and this time we've decided to change it up! We will be hosting our October 13th meeting outdoors on the grass next to the Student Health Center and directly in front of the Student Services building (map below).

For this meeting we will have a guest speaker, Rosie Linares, from Real Food SFSU which is an organization whose primary campaign is to shift university food budgets away from industrial farms and junk food and towards local/community-based, fair, ecologically sound and humane food sources. We will also be answering questions about the upcoming DI workshop. Just a reminder, If you have not already, RSVP under the DI Workshop tab right here on our website.

Hope to see you at the Meeting!
