The Localvores Have Relaunched
Clearly demonstrated by the turnout of over 30
community members at Tuesday's Community Launch, powerful enthusiasm exists and
the Mad River Localvores have an important role in our Valley's future. Thank
you for being a part of it. Now it is time to celebrate!
What is the next step?
Groups have been established to push our enthusiasm
for our initial three programs into action. You are encouraged to get involved
in whichever program strikes your interest and speaks to your passion. The
achievements made as a group depend on active community participation by members
like you. And come on, it'll be fun!
