WELCOME to the first issue

WELCOME to this first issue of the EcoFair360 newsletter. When we finished with the cleanup of the 2010 EcoFair360 on July 18, we realized that we had created more than a 3-day event, we had begun a community of like-minded, sustainable individuals and companies. This was an amazing group, and most of those we met at the Fair commented on how they had not known of so many of the others at the Fair, and yet had so much in common. This is our attempt to keep all these people on your mind and in your rolodex. Let’s get to know each other better, and support the work we’re doing individually, to bring success to the area. Please join the discussion on our blog online, send info (info@ecofair360.com) and keep us updated on what you are doing.
