Call for Volunteers & Calendar Correction


I’ve got two short items I didn’t want to wait until Sunday to send to you all.

First, in last week’s email, I referred to the Saturday Farmers Market, and then said it was happening on Sunday. Of course, that’d be silly. The Saturday market is indeed on Saturday, from 8am until noon at Bishop Park in Athens. That market is a separate entity from Athens Locally Grown, but there is quite an overlap of growers between the two.

Secondly, as Athens Locally Grown business picks up for the season, we’ll be needing more market volunteers. I haven’t put out a call for volunteers since last year, so I’m going to assume that people’s schedules have changed since then and start my list over.

If you’d like to work from 3:30 to 8pm on Thursdays, helping growers unload and then filling customer orders in exchange for a $50 market credit, please let me know and I’ll put you on my list. Please do so even if you’ve contacted me before. I’ll begin rotating new volunteers in starting next week to get people trained up, and then add to the permanent positions as the orders continue to grow.

Thanks!
