Hi, all - yes, the Amherst town committee is coordinating the GRP tabling 
presence at this this year's NOFA 
conference:  http://www.nofa.org/conference/2004/index.php

As you know, this is one of the highlights of the year for the organic 
farming community (our constituents!) and this year should be one of the 
biggest ever because Ralph Nader and Vandana Shiva are making 
appearances.  We are also hoping that Pat LaMarche, the Green Party VP 
candidate, will be able to come, but this is not yet confirmed.

The conference is scheduled for Thursday through Sunday, August 12-15 (two 
weeks from now).  As in the past, we will try to staff our table on Friday 
10am-6pm, Saturday 8am-6pm, and Sunday 8am-3pm.

With a large pool of helpers to draw from, hopefully we can manage to 
divide this up into 10-15 shifts of three or four hours each (with at least 
two people at the table most of the time).    I will be able to help out 
Friday afternoon from about 3:30 on, and Saturday morning until noon at 
least (Sunday will be difficult for me because there is a Statecom 
meeting).  I hope that all of those who are receiving this message will be 
able to commit to some time.  Please let me know as soon as possible so 
that I can start penciling you in.

Thanks!
Rob
