Hi Irene,

That's great! You should join the chapterleader list

(WAPFchapterleaders) if you'd like to

pick the brains of the other chapter leaders.

I guess my first suggestion would be to organize a potluck and invite folks

you think would be interested in WAP/NT. Maybe put up some flyers. And then

educate them gently about the benefits of this lifestyle. Don't try to

convert anyone who's resistant. Those who are ready to take a step forward

and improve their lives through WAP/NT will hear you with open minds. Focus

on them, and pretty soon your chapter will grow.

The main job that the WAPF expects of you is to provide info to your

community on where to obtain WAP/NT foods, so you might want to go about

locating farms and businesses that fit this criteria and keep a list on your

hard drive so you can email it to anyone who inquires. I made up a

questionairre for farmers that I use to interview them about their products,

which is in the files section of the chapter leader list. You're welcome to

use it, if you like.

I'm really glad you're taking this step :-) Look forward to hearing how it

goes.
