Re: [!! SPAM] Finding Places To Speak

**m* l* <m*@earthlink.net>**

Sheri, why don't you consider speaking about gardening to Rotary, 
Kiwanis, and women's service groups?  They've got more money, and are 
often short on speakers.  See if you can get people to grow at least 
some of their own food.  Most people are what, 2 days from starvation 
if the stores close down?  Margaret Lauterbach
