Dear Friends:

Please join us at THE POINT CDC (and Friends of Brook Park and more!) on December 5th for the South Bronx Food & Film Expo (12-5pm). If you are interested in growing your own food, or having better access to healthy food, or getting involved with changing current food policies, this is the event for you! Our expo features groups that can help you do all this and more. Or if you simply want to come sample free local healthy foods, maybe learn a thing or two, and watch a few great films, you are welcome as well!

We have included a flier in this email so you can help the spread the word about this event. Everyone is invited! If you plan on bringing a large group please just let us know, otherwise no RSVP is required.

Here are the details...
