Back from NOFA!
Ann Marie was there to talk with us... Fred Magdoff could come to give presentations on Big Agriculture and the way food moves around the world.
When would we want to have the talk? March 21st at 1:30
Ann Marie will figure out when Fred can come
Do we want to do a lecture series?
Maybe we could do them during lunch and people could bring food with them and listen while they eat. Maybe we could get Heather Darby to come!? Who else?
