Chair: Heather Stoltzfus
Secretary/Treasurer: Steve Widmeyer
Events Committee: Wayan Kaufman (Chair), Robert Zuetell, and Ilona Martin
The Events committee role within Slow Food Orange County is to create events for both members and the broad-public that speak specifically to Slow Food's ideal of "taste education." We also strive to raise funds for Slow Food charities and membership activities. Lastly, events create a community presence for Slow Food Orange County.
Outreach Committee: Claudia Chapel (Chair), Roger McErlane and Teryl Chapel
The Outreach Committee tracks issues of political and social significance to Slow Food members and acts as the primary liaison to non-profit partners. The committee continues to work with Hart Community Homes, which runs a foster home for teenage boys and provides employment opportunities through the associated Monkey Business Café. The committee also serves to inform the general public about the Slow Food movement and the the activities of the Orange County chapter and is the liaison for farmers and chefs who subscribe to the Slow Food philosophy.
Communications Committee: Heather Pritchard (Chair), Joanna Fee, Stacey Blaschke (website)
The Communications Committee ensures that the broad membership remains engaged and informed about Slow Food related events and news through regular e-mail announcements and monthly newsletters. The committee also maintains the SFOC website.
Barbeque Committee Chair: Roger McErlane
The Barbeque Committee plans and implements our largest, annual fundraising barbeque event.
