This weekend Lawerence Brooke and his wife Eliana attented an event for our local congresswoman, Lynn Woolsey. The dinner was “An Organic Celebration” From her website:

“I will just be getting back from my two week trip around the southern part of the United States for a project I am doing called Project Y-ine, a social media exposé on Generation Y and wine.   I will be traveling through a part of the United States that I have never been too, talking to people my own age about what goes through their mind when purchasing wine and beer.  I will be visiting diverse regions of the United States and seeing firsthand how agriculture (mainly wine) is a central part of each region.  I will also be discussing which issues are important to them, such as Global Warming, health care, the economy, etc. which I will share with you when I get back….

…We will also discuss the state of organic produce and agriculture in the United States. Something I will be well educated in by the end of my trip.  Representative Sam Farr (part of the Organic Caucus and a national leader in the organic/sustainable movement) from Monterey will be joining us as well to discuss agriculture in his district, which just so happens to be one of the largest suppliers of produce in California. “

Here is a shot of Lynn from the event Saturday.
