We’re having a special installment of our monthly Slur to focus on the future of Slow Food NYC. This informal happy hour is a chance to talk to the leaders of our chapter, ask us questions, make comments, and decide if you want to run for a position on our leadership committee in our upcoming elections.

Not interested or able to join the committee? This will also be a chance to meet some of the people who have already been nominated. You can get to know the people who’ve already decided to run and throw your support behind the future leaders who inspire you the most.

Not a Slow Food member? Show up anyway… The Slur is still just a fun happy hour where you can meet like minded people and enjoy a relaxing drink after your day. OR, click here to become a member during the extended membership drive (until October 15th, a donation of any amount gets you a Slow Food membership and your donation amount is doubled thanks to a generous dollar-for-dollar matching donation by Slow Food supporter Mr. Donald Sussman).

We hope to see you at the happy hour.
