vision for a future of our food and our planet.   Discussion afterward. All free!

Ongoing:
* Friend us on facebook! Just search Dartmouth Sustainability or go to http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dartmouth-Sustainability/190425884324950
* Have stuff you want to sell or buy? Check out dartlist.com, like craigslist  
but for the Dartmouth community!
*MAPLE SUGARING: Leaders Wanted!
Have a sweet tooth? Every year, the farm participates in a classic New
England tradition: boiling the sap of the sugar maple to produce syrup. This
does not happen until the spring thaw, but it is never too early to think
about this sweet stuff! There will be a short hike (soon) for potential
leaders to check out the sugar house and pipeline and to figure out what
work needs to be done before the season. Blitz Sam Kernan if you have
questions or are interested in becoming a sugaring leader. And never fear,
there will be more opportunities to get involved and even lead.

Have a great homecoming! Go big green!!
