Let's Get Together! | | | |
May and June are hopping with excellent opportunities to be together in person, building the relationships that weave the fabric of the beloved community! I encourage you to check out the many upcoming events and workshops featured below. I especially invite you join us at the Friends School of Minnesota Plant Sale happening this weekend from Friday, May 10 - Sunday, May 12. FNVW will be tabling, so stop by and say hi! Or consider signing up for a tabling shift. This event attracts thousands of people who are likely to be excited about our mission and vision. | | | |
By tabling with FNVW, you'll help connect the community to FNVW's work! Slots are 2 hours long. Talking points, FAQ sheets and materials will be provided! What could be better – growing FNVW while surrounded by beautiful growing plants! Sign up here. With Revolutionary Love,
Leah | | | |
