[1930 circus cookhouse] “Drab silent men hang all around the perimeter with hungry eyes. As Marlena steps away from the steam tables, one of them address her. He’s a tall man, gaunt, with deeply creased cheeks… ‘Lady – hey, lady, Can you spare a little? Just a piece of bread?…Aw, come on lady. Have a heart. I ain’t ate in two days.’”

Can you imagine not having ate for two days? Author, U.S. cultural historian, Megan Elias will be traveling to Columbia from the City University of New York, to share her thoughts on the importance of food as is it was presented in Water for Elephants and to connect this theme to the realities of food shortages and government food programs during the Great Depression.

Dr. Elias will be telling stories about how the experience of scarcity during the Depression changed how Americans both get and think about food.

The hardships of the 1930s had a profound effect on the development of American consumer culture in the 1950s and these developments in turn have shaped our own food systems today.

[Present day nursing home] “So what’s on the menu tonight?” I grumble as I’m steered into the dining room. “Porridge? Mushy peas? Pablum? Oh let me guess, it’s tapioca isn’t it? Is it tapioca? Or are we calling it rice pudding tonight?”

Dr. Elias will be inviting the audience to share their own anecdotes about food during the Depression and there will be time for questions and discussion.

• I am also negotiating with the library about KOPN sponsoring the last event of the program. They are inviting in Emmett Kelly’s family to perform their circus routine prior to the showing of the Greatest Event on Earth at the Blue Note on Sunday, September 30.

Newsletter

• I would recommend that the board do a self-evaluation so that the newsletter can include specific traits that the board is looking for in their call for board nominations. Larry handed out this evaluation at the training on Saturday.

  The group is not discounting having other activities as a lead up to the big weekend but that the focus of this group should be the Reunion birthday celebration.

  They asked for the brainstorming list to be distributed to all for feedback. What ideas are awesome, which ones suck rotten eggs, is there some idea that you would love to work on? Etc???
