2017 02_09 Lunch Meeting
Urban Farms
We had a large turnout in spite of the rain! Included were three potential new members very interested in joining our club plus one additional guest. Paul Ratcliffe was the winner of our raffle drawing but failed to draw the Ace of Spades for the big prize. Our resident bard Alan Lowe read us a poem.
Kris described a project with the Interact kids who are assembling backpacks to send to San Felipe. She requested that we bring sunglasses that could be included in the packs. Kimberly described the Diaper Collection project for the Lighthouse. Both requested that we bring contributions of these items or some $$'s to the next couple of meetings.
Dan encouraged all to donate at the upcoming February 17th Blood Drive and/or tell your friends. In District 5180, we are leading the pack for blood donations thanks to Dan's leadership and efforts. Good job Dan.
Our speaker was Mary Kimball from the Center for Land-Based Learning. Her organization is instrumental in training individuals to become farmers. In addition, they work with local communities to create local farms in urban areas. Learn more at their Website: landbasedlearning.org.
