REMINDER: Each February, Southern Season celebrates women in food. Unfortunately, the events for Shirley Corriher and Mildred Council, aka Mama Dip, are sold out already.

One of the other events is a food writers forum  including Southern Living writer Donna Florio; Raleigh Metro magazine columnist Moreton Neal; The News & Observer's food writer Andrea Weigl; and Chapel Hill author Kelly Alexander, author of "Hometown Appetites: The Story of Clementine Paddleford, the Forgotton Food Writer Who Chronicled How America Ate." The event will be 4 p.m. Feb. 19. It costs $30.

To reserve a space, call 929-7133 or go to www.southernseason.com

In honor of Mildred Council's 80th birthday, her family has created a "Share the Love Fund" at the Triangle Community Foundation. The fund will be used to award grants to engage children and youth in activities that inspire a healthy sense of self-esteem and self-worth. A fundraiser will be held at 5 p.m. Sept. 20 at Fearrington Village.
