Fwd: Growing out of Hunger featuring Will Allen, Jan 27

[Arzeena Hamir]

Apologies if you're getting this posting from all different directions.

If anyone needs a ride from Richmond, hoping to leave a bit early & get a vegetarian (or even vegan!) meal on the Drive before the talk starts. I have room for 3 more.
