I am sure you know of them, but have you been in touch with Edible Communities Publications? It seems as though they could be a really great ally for the FBEA.

Thank you for what you do. Do we have an estimated cost for the conference? Options for work-exchange/scholarship?? I hope all is well. We are great down here in Tennessee.
Blessings.
I ended up becoming a member of the Mass group when i didnt intend to. I just posted a comment to see what would happen but i became a group member. Maybe this is a bug? Also, it seems not so great that we cant change our privacy settings once we set up a group. Better if we could adapt as needed.
I guess I need to play around a bit before using this "site" as a communications vehicle with my group. We have so much to work on and I dont want to add any unnecessarily frustrating elements to our work. But it sure is a nice space if you can get it to work smoothly. Thanks for everything-Joanna
