Due to my computer inadequacy, the above post did not include my preface, so here it is:

ACA, the local non-profit group that trains Mexicans in organic farming methods (and also sells Great Greens locally) is holding their annual Harvest Fair on Sat. Oct. 21 and Sun. Oct. 22. This is their major fundraiser for the year. They are looking for volunteers, and I am posting the email they sent me about this. Volunteering at the fair is a good way to learn more about what they do and to have fun at the same time. For more info on ACA, go to www.ggs.com.mx.
