SUMMARY:Seminar: Why Buy Local?

Serio’s deli will be open for business and all seminar participants will be offered the Sandwich of the Day for 50% off as well as a menu of various options for lunch\, which will be served in-store after the presentation. For more information on the Why Shop Local seminars or to speak or feature your business at one\, email jasper (insert @ if you’re human) whyshoplocal.org. You may also CLICK HERE to join the seminar series email list. \nDecember 11\nGoing Red While Going Green: GIVING THE GIFT OF SUSTAINABILITY\nLexie Vining & Katie Costantini\, Center for Eco-Technology
