Today was the presentation at the Fayetteville Public Library. I have to say, although we didn't get the turn-out we hoped for, it was still a fair amount of people, hopefully some of them become interested in us, and I was impressed by everyone's efforts to make it work so well! Thanks Sarah for helping with the presentation, great job on the video and slideshow Michelle, thanks everyone for getting up and talking- you all presented us well, and great job on the food Havilah, Kelsey and Serena!

This shows with a little cooperation and preparation, we can get our goals accomplished.

I think we are developing some lasting relationships with people and places in the city.

The bamboo garden building project can evolve into a lasting program, wherein we teach people how to use local materials and be resourceful. It can also be profitable, as there are many things that can be made from bamboo.

There is a lot of work to do; I hope this event gives us some momentum to start working harder to make our projects happen!

I plan to work on developing a system for making bamboo builder groups and also to start getting some things accomplished at the OMNI center garden this week. Also, I will be working on the Art Show development and outreach and other fundraising possibilities.
