[FLPERMACULTURE] NYC Toby Hemenway Event

[Joshua Dolan]

Hey everyone,

I have a car lined up for the drive to NYC for Toby
Hemminway's course on the 28th.  The car will leave
sometime shortly after noon on the 27th and return the
evening of the 28th.  We still have room for two
riders.  All that I ask is a contribution of gas
money.  Also, I have a place to stay in Red Hook, but
folks would probably need to find quarters overnight. 
Please let me know if you would like to ride with
us...first come first serve.

Josh
