Boxes of Fresh Organic Vegetables All Summer Long

Ploughshare farm has delivered boxes of organic vegetables from their farm every week during the summer for the last three years and they're looking for more members. This is called a Community Supported Agriculture (or CSA) program where people can become members and pay a fixed price at the beginning of the summer and for 20+ weeks, the farm will deliver a big box of the best of what's in season (good salad mixes in June, cucumbers in July, tomatoes in August, squashes in September, and dozens of other varieties).

In addition to summer shares, the farm also offers special shares like bread shares, frozen ones through the winter, fall storage shares, and a few others. More information at www.ploughsharefarm.com

The Campus Kitchen Project is a big supporter, as it connects people with great food and supports a fantastic family who produces it all, and the farm and many of the members donate many of these vegetables that they can't use so we can make them available to local families in need. Please contact me if you have any questions, and if you're interested in possibly being paired with someone else on campus if you think that one box will be too much.

Event Announcements

"Filter This" Quit Smoking Support Group

Have you ever thought about quitting smoking? Have you tried to quit smoking? How many times? Do you know anyone who has tried or is trying to quit smoking?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, and more than one to the how many, we need your help. "Filter This" is a group of people dedicated to and the support of quitting smoking. Quitting is a tough decision, and even tougher to stay quit, but it CAN BE DONE!

We meet every Thursday from 4-5pm in OGC 113.

For more information contact Mark Guyott at 612-330-1170 or guyott@augsburg.edu.

This is not a popular proposition or topic on many college campuses; maybe it will take just one to start it.

Do you want to donate to a good cause and see a Twins baseball game? Well I am selling tickets for a multiple sclerosis fundraising event. The game is Saturday April 23 at 12:10 against the Indians. The price of a ticket is 22 dollars and 5 dollars goes to the MS society. You will also have the opportunity to be part of the pre-game on the field celebration (if you want to do so, no obligation). Please let me know by Sunday (robinson@augburg.edu) if you want to go as the event has sold out in the past and tickets are on a first come first served basis.
