Evening of American Folk Dance
Our Compost Czar Kay is hosting a folk dance night on April 18 from 7-10pm at the UW South Campus Center, room 316. Try your hand (and feet) at a wide range of American folk dance: from square dances, contra dances, polkas, waltzes to schottisches. Fiddler Sarah Comer will be leading a new Old Time strings band, backed up by guitarist David Cahn, and Tony Mates will be calling. Admission is by donation. For more information, visit http://hspafolkdancenight.weebly.com/

Compost Crew
The Compost Crew will meet at the Botany Greenhouse every 
Monday from 10-11am. We have an active worm bin right now, so bring your compost from home (coffee grounds, fruit and veggie leftovers, old newspapers, stale cereal grains, etc.). Wear comfortable shoes and clothes (dress for the weather). Questions? Contact Kay at chaik@uw.edu.

Future Farmers
Do you like kids and hanging out at the Farm? We need volunteers to help with 3rd grade field trips! No prior teaching experience necessary. We need folks Wednesdays, 5/7, 5/14, and 5/21 from
