[Lapg] Carpooling : Joel Salatin,comes to SantaBarbara Dec 9-11

[Gillian Webster]

Hello all, 

I am hoping to attend the Joel Salatin Public talk on Relocalization in Santa Barbara next wednesday and am hoping to car pool with someone back to the Santa Clarita region. Does anyone live in the area and could offer me a ride home after the talk?

Thanks for your help, 
please call me at 661-600-8548
