• Gather together for meals to share in the joy of eating organically and/or locally;
• Act as a liaison between our members and organic resource groups;
• Notify our e-mail distribution list of legislation affecting organic/local/sustainable life issues; and
• Organize special events for our members and friends who are part of community supported agriculture.
