The Local Farm-to-Folk Event of the Season

Oof. Life comes at you fast. Kind of.

 

Friends, I saved a screenshot of this on August 15th so that I would absolutely, positively write about it and, boom! It’s tomorrow night. 

As Grover says at the end of that book about a monster, “Oh, I am so embarrassed.”

Still, better late than never. There’s still time to buy your tickets and/or bid on silent auction items. 

Tickets and more information.

Silent auction (deadline 10/16 at 8:15 PM)

Just FYI: 

Can't attend our event but still want to support? Choose "In Spirit" Ticket to donate the cost of an event ticket to CEI.

As a reminder, here are some words that explain what the Community Ecology Institute is all about:

We envision a world of thriving communities rooted in healthy relationships with nature. 

Our mission is to cultivate communities where people and nature thrive together. Our work focuses on tangible, community-level change at the intersection of environment, education, equity, and health.  ​

​​Our Guiding Principles are: 

• Inclusive Belonging
• Restorative Reciprocity
• Health and Wellness
• Integrity & Accountability

In a time of national crisis where there’s a dangerous shortage of all of those things, the work of CEI is all the more important.

This is not a gown-and-tuxedo event. The theme is Flannels and Florals (and Friends) and I can’t tell you how tempted I am to show up in one of those Lanz nightgowns that were oh-so-popular at Mount Holyoke back in the day. I don’t own one, of course, but it’s a lovely thought.

Have a wonderful day and spare a kind thought for high school students enduring PSAT’s today. I bet many of them would rather be thriving in nature.
