Victoria Boutenko's weekend workshop in Sacramento is this coming weekend, August 1 & 2. If you have not made your reservation to attend, I urge you to do so immediately! (Confirmed reservations are listed here). She will hold a dinner & lecture on Friday August 1 and a full-day workshop "12-steps to Raw Foods," on Saturday August 2. Full details including location are here.
On Wednesday July 30, (tomorrow) get your copy of the Sacramento Bee early in the day! It will have a feature article on Raw Sacramento and raw foods. We expect to quickly sell out Victoria's workshop when the newspaper hits the streets, so please register now if you wish to attend.
Many more outstanding raw food events are scheduled in or around Sacramento. I have to mention the biggest raw food event of the year on planet Earth: Portland's Raw Food Festival, scheduled for August 21-26. Mark your calendars now! Official Website of the Portland Raw Foods Festival. Here are photos of Raw Sacramento attendees at Portland last year. Here are the Raw Sacramento members known to be going to Portland in 3 weeks for the festival. Right now Southwest Airlines has promotional fares of just $34 one-way to Portland. Driving takes about 9 hours (580 miles).
Raw Sacramento now has a functioning steering committee. This is going to make our group and our events much better. You can join this group, or, you can attend meetings of the steering committee. Read about it here. The steering committee will meet next on Friday, August 8 at 5:30 at the SNFC dining area (inside or out depending on weather).
Where to get Raw Food in Sacramento? If you read our events page carefully you'll see that we have a monthly potluck usually on the 1st Sunday of the month and on the Fourth Friday of the month. Thursday night support group is suspended until after the vacation season and after Victoria's workshop. But, would you like to just show up & pay for a nice raw meal? As an experiment, we will be trying this beginning on August 17 under the direction of Diane & Larry Walters.
