[Rfu-barnraising] Re: {basement} barnraising publicity

[Molly Stentz]

Hi, this is Molly, from RFU/IMC Urbana. I'm tryin' to head up the food 
effort with the idea of locally grown food for locally grown radio.. to 
highlight the necessities of the DIY ethic, community-building, and 
nuturing a local economy. I think it makes sense.

I know the food is peripheral but it would be way cool to put in a plug 
for the menu somehow. We're putting some work into it and I want it to be 
good! It would be cool if folks knew to expect that and volunteers 
would get a kick outta their efforts being appreciated..
Here's my, um, best shot:

RFU Barnraising... where even the food is homegrown!

RFU.. Local radio for local folks. Food will be provided and it, too, will 
be locally grown!

RFU Barnraisin'... homegrown meals for homegrown radio.

Er something... my 2 cents! 
Thanks!!

-Molly
