             This daylong meeting takes place at two sites in Barre but it is not your average Annual Meeting.  Be prepared to wear your jeans, roll up you sleeves and Move Into Action.

            The afternoon will be spent at the Barre Labor Hall. Lunch will be “Soup Kitchen” style. (prepared and served by the students of NECI as part of their community service) After lunch we will take time to process the morning events.  Our usual business meeting will end the day.

            Please join us, on March 27th, for a first hand experience of the realities of hunger in Vermont.  Be on the lookout for the brochure and registration materials to arrive soon.
