Volunteer Update - July 30, 2010: Hindsight & Foresight

[Jay]

Aloha y'all,

Looking Back - What a week!  On this past Sunday, volunteers gathered after the work party at Hayes Valley Farm for an informal ceremony to honor the bees that were killed.  Thanks to The Examiner, You can watch it on YouTube:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClbUxgrbV6M

Outdoor Yoga with Lindsey Goldberg this past Thursday was an absolutely wonderful way to start the day on the farm, and starting next week, we are moving the class from Thursdays at 1:30pm to Sundays at 11:30am.  So, the next class is Sunday, August 8, 11:30am-12:30pm. I hope you can make it!

Looking Ahead - Creative and positive response to all of the craziness lately...
