CONTACT INFORMATION FOR GROUP SEEKING WAPF TEAM MEMBERS

In our Spring 2013 letters section, we published an appeal from Katharine Spehar of Branford, Connecticut, but we ne-
glected to provide Katharine’s email address! Katharine represents a small group of Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF)
members who are planning a venture to make nutrient-dense food more available to people when they are away from
home. She and her group are looking for individuals with restaurant-industry experience, preferably in management and/
or procurement, to join her team. If you are interested in participating, please contact her or forward this message to
someone you know who may be interested. Her email address is kjspehar@gmail.com.
