Tomorrow, we’ll be sharing some big news: the date and location for the 2017 Twin Cities Veg Fest! Look for the announcement on our blog and Facebook page and in our email newsletter, and then please share, share, share.
Also, we would love to have you attend one of our Town Hall Meetings in April. As a volunteer and participant in our programs, your input is vital and will help the staff and board of directors create a strategic plan that truly represents the community’s vision. Please plan to join us on April 6 or April 8 for one of these important meetings.
Other upcoming volunteer opportunities include stuffing envelopes on March 9, helping out at our donor appreciation party on March 26, and lending a hand at the 2017 Annual Banquet on April 22. More details below!
