SWMN NewsBriefs
January NewsBrief: Happy New Year!
SWMN Conference Planning: The target date for the next SWMN Annual Conference is September 2012 in the Southern Arizona region. This location will be a great opportunity to work with local partners and include issues especially relevant to this region. Keep an eye out here for details as they develop.
Colorado Farm to School Primer: A new resource providing an overview of Farm to School and how to capture the many benefits of these programs has been authored by Healthy Community Food Systems (HCFS). While including some Colorado details, it should be valuable to other states as well. A PowerPoint version is now available for your use. Click here for a link to the HCFS Farm to School page.
Reminder: We also recognize that groups within the region may want to form discussion groups, listservs, Google groups, and the like on a variety of topics. If you would like us to post a notice of groups such as this and who to contact to get involved, just send an e-mail to Jim Dyer at jadyer@frontier.net
