We will be meeting Wednesday evening February 8th, from around 6:30 to 8:30
p.m. at the new Blaine Cub Foods located at 10881 University Avenue NE, which is
at the South-east corner of the intersection of University Avenue and 109th
Avenue in Blaine and Northdale Blvd in Coon Rapids. I believe they have a
conference room located up the stairs located to the left of the checkout
registers as you enter the store.
If time allows we will have a two part meeting.
Wendy will start us off which some more applications
on the practice of herbalism. This will be a follow-up to Wendy’s yard tour
last summer. We discussed learning more about
herbalism as a theme for this year at our last meeting. And on that topic the
classes being offered by the Women’s Environmental Institute might be of
interest. See more here: https://secure.acceptiva.com/?cst=181217
Part two will be I believe a hands on opportunity for
folks to practice the art of convivial tool making, which Bob will lead. Bob
will show us a project he is working on designed to help folks understand the
“hafting” process where stone projectile point is hafted to a shaft to make a
useful tool. Attached is a photo showing the the materials used in the
process. I am hoping to get/make one of these to use for rooting around in my
garden this year.
Give me a call at 763-807-3698 or drop me an email at jablonski@usfamily.net if you have any questions.
