Wednesday October 23, 2013  The bookstore at Minneapolis Central Library had a 25 cent sale.  Bought a Lonely Planet guide to Papua New Guinea. 

***On to the Wedge Coop's annual meeting.  It was held at St. Mary's Greek Orthodox Church's event center.

St. Mary's Church's congregation is apparently mostly English-speaking.  And not all the surnames are Greek.

Looked at some church literature.  They perform marriages to other kinds of Christians, but not to non-Christians.  Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons are classed as non-Christians.

This year, the Wedge had charged five dollars for dinner up to a certain date -- to be refunded at the meeting.  Purpose: to get a reasonably accurate count of how many people needed to be fed.  (And how many were vegetarian or vegan.)  After the cut-off date, the cost was ten dollars and not refundable.

The refund turned out to be a Wedge gift card.

Appetizers available during the formal meeting were organically correct, with a good selection of gluten-free items.

Speeches, announcements.  And a short film about Gardens of Eagan (organic farm owned by the Wedge) and its associated school.  It would have made farming seem attractive to me, if I hadn't grown up in the country.

And then, dinner.  I ate well.
