I had my blog all set to go for today/tonight, but like many other times, I get completely different and great inspiration for something else all together!
Tonight's inspiration was my attendance of The Last Green Valley's Annual Meeting.
Since I am not only a member of The Last Green Valley, but I'm also a "Ranger" (which is just the cool and unique name for their volunteers), I felt that it would be a nice treat for me to attend. This is so fun!!! I kid you not!!!
The event was held in Sturbridge, MA, not far from where I live, and also a part of The Last Green Valley. It is also a place I have never been. That alone would have made the evening worth it!
The Last Green Valley is a 35 town national heritage corridor in CT & MA, promoting & preserving open spaces, farming, agriculture, water, etc - all valuable treasures within our borders - TLGV also has a goal of being self-sustained by 2015. Time flies! That will be here before we know it.
If you are not a member and live in The Last Green Valley, I urge you to join. It is cheap money to join, and there are numerous events to attend as a member. That is good money spent and membership pays for itself in the enjoyment you will experience!
If you want to learn more, check out their website. It is packed with information on events (endless), businesses (offering great local products and more), farms (we need them to live), recreation (such as all of our great places to hike, bike, paddle...)
You can even have a presentation given to your group! There are four different and exciting topics to choose from, about 30 minutes each - all entertaining! A presentation would be fabulous for your civic group, a business get together, your garden club, a children's group....
Check out The Last Green Valley's video about these presentations here. Pick which presentation you'd like to have for your group/event. Then give me, Ranger Marcy, a call! 860-933-5425.
I am a Putnamaniac because I live in the Last Green Valley, and help support it, because I love where I live!
