[Green] Fwd: Seed Sowing--Middle Island: Monday 10AM-Noon; Tuesday 1-3PM; Wednesday 3PM-5PM

[Vic Elam]

All,

When the Earth, its products, its creatures become his concern, man is
caught up in a cause greater than his own life and more meaningful. Only
when man loses himself in an endeavor of that magnitude does he walk and
live with humility and reverence.   - William O. Douglas
