Ann DeLaVergne said… Hi Alison,
I at least have the kitchen up on the site. I'm also working at Landfall, Cimarron, and Harmony School on economic develop projects around food and gardening. We'll be posting more information now that we have a few staff on board. I was introduced to the Connect for Health Challenge by a colleague, it looks interesting. There are a couple of new initiatives we are looking at that would fit the challenge.
You are officially invited to breakfast when you have time, it would be great to visit more.
Have a wonderful weekend.
