I love the "process" that goes into what we are doing with Winnie Mae's. I love the way that it grows and changes and how we are able to create and do good at the same time.
Our first concept of the Harvest Dinner was to create a venue where people could meet their local farmers and gather with some like minded people over some good, local food. So the concept was really very simple. Still, the more we thought about it, the more we considered that it might be an opportunity to do more than that.
Education and awareness have to be ongoing and what better way to talk about both than over a great meal from some local farms and gardens while watching an informative documentary. The Harvest Dinner will still take place on the 26th at the Arts Center at 212 Butler St. from 6 pm until 9 pm in the auditorium, but we will also be showing the movie, Farmageddon, a film by Kristen Canty. It is about the way small farms are being treated lately and how food is getting and sometimes being kept from getting your table. See the trailer at the right.
Beyond this particular evening, we thought it would be good to do events, every two weeks where we show a film, do a little education and facilitate discussion. Above all, we want to grow a community. We are calling it our Meaningful film series. We will be showing 10 movies, at several locations, about issues that are very near and dear to our hearts and things we should be talking about. First on the list is Farmageddon, accompanied by some great food provided by Longbranch Farms and the Clemson Student Organic Farm.
So, purchase a pass below that fits your needs for this showing and others and support the discussion.
Tickets ARE transferable. (Give your pass for a show to a friend if you cannot make a particular show!)
Some shows will allow for single event purchases depending on the venue.
We do take requests! Let us know how we can make each event positive and enlightening for you.
Miss Representation is next on September 9th. This film takes a look at media images and the young women in our society.
Your purchase will help support Winnie Mae's, The Arts Center, The Clemson Area Food Exchange, The Rensing Center, and more opportunities and events like this in the Clemson area.
Thank you!
Can I invite the Clemson University's presidents commission for women to the miss rep showing?
