[Imcamericorps] strategy for farmer's market?

[Carly Nix]

Markets are on Saturdays, and there are 28 of them from May 1 to November
6.  Cost is $7.50 per week, but there's a 10% discount if you prepay for
more than 5.  So if we were to pay upfront for all weekends it would be $189
for the whole summer.  If we decide this is a high priority, we could ask
the working groups to split the cost.  We could have flyers for all the
different groups at the table to pass out to people.  Last year I staffed a
table with info about the IMC, copies of the WRFU schedule and copies of the
Public i.

But we could also have the bike project represent more one week than
another, with the bike trailer thing, for example.

Here's the group application info:
