West Hill has made a commitment to include nut-free vegan and vegetarian options at West Hill sponsored events. One way we can help make this easier is to provide opportunities for people to become familiar with recipes that support this commitment. We are very pleased that Rob Burridge has agreed to share some of his favourite recipes in a new section of our website. The first two recipes are up. Check out: What We Do> Learn> Rob's Recipe Corner

The 2009 Annual Report is now available on line. Being conscious of our environment and making wise use of our resources there will not be a distribution of printed reports. There will be a limited number of printed versions available upon request from the office. So relax, read all the interesting reports highlighting the activities of the past year. Bring any comments or questions to the Congregational Meeting on Tuesday, June 22.
Over the past six weeks there has been a great deal of discussion about our Food Awareness Initiative. Earlier in the year you might have read several articles in the SaltShaker, perhaps you saw the brochure that was distributed at church last month, you may even have participated in the Q&A session following a Sunday morning service. All of these have prompted feedback. We wanted you to know that the board appreciates your input and takes it seriously. We've met several times to reflect on what we have heard. Time is a precious commodity. All of the board members are volunteers and finding time to engage in these types of discussions is never easy. However we are committed to finding the direction that best reflects the values and the needs of this congregation. So, please stay engaged in this dialogue as we attempt to find this path. Offered in love, Moira French, on behalf of the Board
Join us for an exciting evening. Stimulate your senses with aromatic coffee blends and help us choose the perfect blend and roast for West Hill. Our Fair Trade coffee selections are roasted by Alternative Grounds. Then stimulate your mind with an incredible new play by Munroe Scott, performed by Rick Miller and based almost entirely on interviews with the Great Infidel himself, a.k.a. The Orator, Robert Ingersoll. February 23, beginning at 7:30. 
Deb Ellis will again be leading an intro to vegan cooking on Saturday December 5th at noon at the church. This time, her efforts will be in support of the lunch following our Affirming Celebration the next day on December 6th. Learn how to make appetizers and hors d'eouvres. If you wish to participate, please contact the church office by Wednesday December 2nd. More information will follow about the type of food being cooked and if there are any ingredients to bring.

FreeRice: this is a fantastic concept! Everybody wins - don't you love that?!? It's a spelling game that you play on your computer. For each correct answer, ten grains of rice are donated to the United Nations World Food Program - people are fed. The sponsors names are seen at the bottom of the screen - they get advertising. A word is offered with a choice of four definitions - you learn. Win-Win-Win! The purpose of the site is to feed and educate as many as possible throughout the world. FreeRice has been expanded to include six major categories: Art, Chemistry, English, Geography, Language Learning, and Math. Imagine! It even automatically adjusts to your own level. It's incredible - for any age, and you will be fascinated! Check it out here.
