Our thanks to all of you who attended our Public Forum held January 26 and participated in our online survey. Your interest and support of Land's Sake is so important to us.

The results are in and we are carefully reviewing your comments. In many cases, you told us to keep up the good work particularly with our education efforts with children, our outreach to area food banks and our community events. You've also given us plenty of ideas for improvement and we are taking you seriously. Look for the new ways Land's Sake will be getting the word out about our organization, developing deeper partnerships with like-minded groups and focusing on fundraising to ensure a sustainable future.

Next month we will announce the two winners of a $50 Land's Sake gift certificate as thanks for their participation.

Your input is welcome! If you have feedback to give us, please call 781-893-1162 or e-mail Alyson Muzila at alyson@muzila.net.
