“ORGANIC CELEBRATION AT THE HILTON!”
ADVANCES CALIFORNIA GREEN LODGING PROGRAM

In an unprecedented, historic, landmark advance, organic and biodynamic foods from local San Diego Farmers and the Natural Products Industry were enthusiastically received in three organic lunches served at the Garden by the Bay at the trendsetting Hilton San Diego Resort, August 5-6-7.

The Garden by the Bay, a popular site for weddings, signaled the engagement between organic foods and green lodging, fulfilling the mandate of California Governor Arnold Schwartzengger’s Green Lodging Program.

The Hilton Hotels Corporation is recognized internationally as a preeminent hospitality company with more than 2300 hotels, resorts and vacation ownershIp properties. The Hilton San Diego Resort is one of their premiere trend setting properties.

In a seemless coordinated effort, while Opening Ceremonies at the Feng Shui Conference welcomed the presence of more than 400 attendees including 60 Sustainable Living Presenters from around the world, In another part of the property, Rosario Marin, Chair, of the California Waste Management Board,
and former US Treasurer, met with Matthew J. Hart President and Chief Operating Officer, HIlton Hotels Corporation.

In attendance was also San Diego city Council Member Donna Frye. San Diego County Board of Supervisors, and State Senator Christine
Kehoe (D-San Diego) and Assembly Member Lori Sandana (D-San Diego)
were also invited to the meeting.

The Hilton San Diego Resort is a leadership Participant in the Green Lodging Program and has an Environmental Policy in place, that was advanced through its
co-partnering in the “Organic Celebration at the Hilton!”

The Seven point environmental Program delineated by the Green Lodging Program includes “Environmentally and socially sensitive purchasing policies.”

According to Leslie Goldman, who orchestrated the “The Enchanted Gardener’s Lunches” and many other Enchanted Garden Activities during the Internatonal
Feng Shui Conference at the Hilton
“I know that the Enchanted Garden is just beginning
to co-partner innovations within the Hilton San Diego Resort.”

The three days of "Organic Celebration at the Hilton"
in alliance with many other Enchanted Garden Sponsors
and Members, including the International Feng Shui Conference,
signaled not a one-time event, but the opening
of a long term collaboration," said Goldman.

"We thank the Hilton for outstanding service during our stay,
and for its participation as a California hospitality
industry leader in Rosario Marin's Green Lodging Program."

"Organic Celebration with the Hilton!"
August 5-6-7, a co-partnership between the Enchanted Garden,
Hilton, and many other generous Enchanted Garden sponsors,
was stunningly successful.

"The Hilton went beyond their normal vendor policies to allow
never before products--such as farm fresh lettuce from
the fourth Generation Rodriquez Family,
Tom King farms organic watermelons, and Wright's
free range, antibiotic free chicken to be served.
Steps are now in process to explore= the existing Vendor
policies and proposals are being written that will allow for numbers of these products
to find their way into the HIlton on an ongoing basis," said Goldman.

300 meals were prepared and served.
Enthusiastic diners were taste tempted by Award Winning Chef
Hermann Schaefer's Creative offerings.

The Hilton San Diego Resort has a
written environmental policy in place that
meet all seven of the program's criteria:

* Waste minimization.
* Reuse/recycling.
* Energy efficiency.
* Conservation and management.
* Waste management.
* Freshwater resource management.
* Hazardous materials management.
* Environmentally and socially sensitive purchasing policies.
One of the Seven keys of the state

What is “Organic Celebration?"

"Organic Celebration!" means living
in the Enchanted Garden,
a name for our renewed Earth.

Make a garden where you live,
a garden as big as one seed growing
or as large as a jungle.

"Organic Celebration!" is natural.
Every seed sprouts, blossoms, fruits,
then goes back to enrich the soil.

Seeds belong to all of us.
They are a gift from Mother Earth.
Let them feed the Human Child so our earth evolves.

Seeds bring Seed Dreams down to
earth so Plant Your Dream!

Raise up Heart and Soul everywhere.
This is "Organic Celebration!"

Declare Interdependence to All Life
so we have World Peace.
Know on a first name basis the farmers
who grow your food.

Say hello where you shop.vMake eye contact.
Smile. With every dollar spent, sustain
Heart and Soul inspired Industry.

Be intimate with your own life.
Turn what is given into something good.

Doing these things undermines terror, amplifies security
and allows war and suffering to be things of the past.
Ensure that "The Future of Food!"
will be whole, pure, natural, and organic.

"Organic Celebration!" is Love...
Allow your bottom line to be Love,
an endless stream of flowing, nurturing love bringing us together with Heaven, Earth, and Humanity

All Nature says "Join fully now!"
Collaborate, and "Lettuce" Grow Together.

This is what we came for. This is why we are here!

Congratulate each other for our bright future.
Congratulate each other for a bright future...
