Calendar of Events

Knowledge is power! Come learn the facts and join in stimulating discussion at our annual Moovie Nite series. We are proud to partner with Greentown Los Altos to bring you the best movies, to keep you informed, to keep us all connected on the hottest issues.

First in the series this year is King Corn with the follow-up mini-doc Big River.

In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the East Coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America's most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat - and what we farm.

There will be a discussion and speaker after the film to talk about local issues with the food system and what you can do to make changes.

This event is in partnership with GreenTown Los Altos, a grassroots initiative of residents and businesses in Los Altos and Los Altos Hills, making our community more environmentally healthy for our children and grandchildren.
