80 people are already registered for the Shenandoah Sustainability Summit and we're still 30 days away. There is good momentum.
So many of you have inspiring stories and projects to share.
The goal of this summit is to share those stories, and connect local people with practical examples and opportunities to make possible living and working in a more sustainable way.
Will you come? Will you invite a few people?
Of course, you can present on a topic or question of your choice! We will have about 30 workshops/discussions that can be created by anyone who comes. These sessions will be in downtown restaurants on Saturday, April 23, between 10-3:30 (it ends in time for the Rocktown Beer and Wine Festival!)
