We’ll start the meeting with a potluck lunch (12:45 to 1:15), followed by a business meeting for elections and reports, including an introduction to the council of trustees (our governing board.) When you arrive, stop to check in and pickup a name tag. If your 2025 membership has lapsed, you will have an opportunity to renew it. **The next renewal date is June 2026. The speaker will be introduced by 1:45 p.m.

The potluck and program are free and open to the public. There will be hot tea and coffee and cold drinks, please bring your own dishes and a potluck dish to share.

Our featured speaker is Hannah Andersen of the Whidbey Island Conservation District who will present: "Start Small, Grow Tall — building small-scale farms that support the community around them and the land they operate on".
