Thank you everyone who responded to my first posting about City Market's need for more Palestinian Olive Oil. Our member Lynn got the ball rolling by contacting Riad Elsolh Hamad of the Palestine Children's Welfare Fund which has some oil for sale. I called City Market and found out that the name of the manager-type who had called me was "Clem." So I emailed Riad that info along with the phone number and address of City Market. I believe Riad will now contact Clem and hopefully arrange for a shipment. So we can all look forward to some more delicious Palestinian olive oil. Bon apetit!
