Hi Everyone,

We have a wonderful event coming up we hope the whole Santa Barbara 
permaculture community will come out and be a part of!  We can use 
some help with set-up the evening of the event if you'd like to help 
with that, and we could especially use help with music, if you know 
of any musicians that might want to donate a couple of hours for this 
worthy cause.  Raffle items would be greatly appreciated to help 
raise funds for Indigenous Permaculture de Aztlan and the work they do.
