I would like to invite you to close your eyes and imagine a room filled with people who are excited to learn about regional programs that can increase knowledge and implementation of conservation on the land. Now, open your senses to the smell the fresh coffee brewing and the sweet hint of cinnamon from the warm, freshly baked apple cider donuts, compliments of EZ Orchards. Finally, feel the energy in the room fill with hope and enthusiasm for the guest speaker brought to you by the Marion Soil and Water Conservation District. This dream was made possible by the original First Friday programs in 2018.
We have shifted our methods from cozy coffee and yummy donuts at the office to convenient home- brewed coffee and house slippers in your location of choice. First Fridays have become a mainstay in our adult learner programs, and we feel the safest choice is to continue to offer this program online as we enter fall/winter 2021/2022.
We hope you can join us online for any or all the programs listed below. We truly miss seeing you, shaking your hand, and hosting you with hot coffee and warm donuts, but we know this is best for our community, so until we meet again, we will see you on the screen.
The First Friday monthly lineup for 2021/2022:
