The Harvest Moon Society has accomplished many amazing things this year. From our most successful festival to date to the ongoing education and outreach with the local Prairie Spirit School Division, University of Manitoba, and much much more. There is a lot to celebrate, but also a need to continue adapting and to find the resources to carry on this important work. So this year’s AGM is especially focused on finding ways to bring new ideas and energy into this growing network and movement.
The AGM will be structured similarly to other years, with existing committees doing their respective reporting on Saturday morning, but leaving a significant portion of that afternoon to talk about new project ideas and strategies and ways to empower interested new Mooners to continue building on our collective vision. If you’re interested in getting involved please contact Jo-Lene Gardiner at jolenekeith@gmail.com or (204) 825-3512 to get more details about the AGM.
And, of course, we’ll have a hell of a good time along the way and afterwards!
