New Year, New Steering Committee!

Our monthly steering committee meetings have been on hold since last June and we are all eager to reconvene and get to working on market business!  If you have an interest in volunteering at the market, head over to our "Volunteer" page and fill out the short form.  If you want to go a step further and are considering running for a seat on our steering committee, keep your eyes peeled for announcements in August.  Here are just a few great reasons why we like being involved-
