Greenhouse dinner, auction success

The “Gold for the Greenhouse” dinner and auction held recently at Bonny Eagle Middle School was a success. The Bonny Eagle Middle School jazz band and improv group entertained.

Greenhouse tours were conducted and enough money was raised to almost cover all remaining construction costs of the greenhouse.

The event also helped raise food security awareness in the community, and profiled the school and the farm as progressive community leaders.
