[All] ALUS June 2010 Newsletter

[Deb Swidrovich]

Hi everybody:

I received this notice from Kristen Thompson, Norfolk ALUS program.  I
should have sent this out earlier, but with my hectic schedule this summer,
I didn't.

I am not planning to organize another trip to Norfolk as we did last year,
and I notice this is not advertised on their website to the general public,
but I am sure if anyone would like to learn more or may advocate for the
ALUS program, whether it be a farmer, a politician, or other environmental
groups, I'm sure they would be welcomed.  (They have 10 people signed up for
the August 19th farm tour as of today, so they have room for more on the
school bus; lunch provided.)

Forest Fest, which is being held this weekend is geared more to the general
public, and includes an ALUS farm tour as well.

Thanks,

Deb Swidrovich

P.S.  Note to Theo:  I don't see a need to put this on our Calendar.
