SO, question is, Please Answer... would you rather meet on Feb 6 or Feb 13?

OK, here's the final: ---- Saturday, February 6, 2010 ---- We're having our first SVI Board Meeting of the 2010 at Moonshadow. Anyone who has been, or would like to be involved with Sequatchie Valley Institute is welcome to attend.

The board meeting will be from 4-5pm Central time, with potluck following. You all are welcome to come out anytime on Saturday, and stay the night if you like. Please let us know ahead of time if you plan to sleep over, so we can arrange sleeping space. As always, if you plan to stay over, please bring some natural food to help out with meals the next day. ---- Agenda Items ---- Mushroom Workshop planning (March 13) Wildflower Hikes planning (April 3 & 17) UTK Forestry Workshop planning (April 18) Food for Life planning (June 3-6) Bonnaroo crew planning (June 10-14) Other possible festivals Kiln shed progress Internships 2010 Newsletter mailing Fundraising Oh, and here's a shameless plug, while we're on the fundraising note... we've just launched an online donation/membership form on the SVI website: http://svionline.org/donate Chris Gilligan Board of Directors - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sequatchie Valley Institute 1233 Cartwright Loop Whitwell, TN 37397 (423) 949-5922 tel svionline.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you are interested in learning proper techniques for pruning fruit trees and grape vines, come on out and join us for a fun weekend in the trees and trellises. Wear work clothes, comfortable climbing shoes, gloves, hat and eye protection. If you have hand pruners, please bring them and we'll sharpen them for you. For our regular crew and those familiar with SVI, we'll be working at moonshadow's orchard and vineyard, and probably also at Uno and Dos near sweetgum. Those of you who are first-timers or unfamiliar with the land, please check in at Sweetgum (the houses just across the creek at the entrance). There's a lot of limbs piled up, so a bonfire on Saturday night is also a possibility. http://svionline.org/about-svi/directions/ Cheers, Chris Gilligan Board of Directors - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sequatchie Valley Institute 1233 Cartwright Loop Whitwell, TN 37397 (423) 949-5922 tel svionline.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The topics range from organic production of various crops, to soils, to disease/insect/weed management in organic agriculture systems. Attend a CCTV broadcast at UTC, or view web video archives after the workshop. Looks like a lot of good information for gardeners and farmers. http://organics.utk.edu/workshops.htm Chris Gilligan - - - - - - - - - - - (423) 949-5922 tel (423) 260-1002 cel chrisgilligan.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
