Was walking out the door to go out to Escondido
back country, for a day or more and Steve Hays
the Editor of the local Light Connection caught me
asking for a photo that he took of me and Donna Frye
at the E.A.R.T. H. awards

So where is that photo?

Still looking....

put in the name of Donna Frye...
and this story popped up...
I actually was given an honorable mention--
Hermann Schaefer and myself...for this
action.

Donna said at the Awards..
"We are each one tragedy away from being an activist."
I feel doing all I can to bring local foods into places where they
belong is an Enchanted Garden Project right now.

This was from last summer...

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.

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:

* Environmentally and socially sensitive purchasing policies.
