Organic & Biodynamic Gardening @ Main Library
June 27, 2009

Organic and Biodynamic Gardening Methods!
Did you know that current agricultural practices destroy about 6 pounds of soil for each pound of food produced? Sustainable agriculture retains the soil's value. Rather than deplete the soil, we need to heal the earth's soil.

Learn how to use the Grow Biointensive Method of farming. Learn the difference between conventional farming and gardening, and biologically intensive farming as well as how to stop growing crops and start growing soil.
Presented by Linda Grinthal of Sunset View Farm in Andover Twp. This adult program lasts about 1 hour.
When: 1:00 PM
Where: Main Library

Northwest New Jersey for Democracy
If you are a progressive Democrat or Independent living in Northwest NJ, you know that like-minded neighbors might be hard to find. Maybe it seems that this red part of a blue state is an island of conservative thinking. But - you are not alone, there are plenty of us, and we aren't afraid to be heard.

The Vernon Township Democratic Municipal Committee

The Vernon Township Democratic Municipal Committee is the Vernon branch of the Sussex County Democratic Committee. Our mission is to promote the Democratic cause and develop the local Democratic organization to help elect Democrats at all levels of government. While we are naturally particularly interested in local Vernon government, we are also concerned with county, state, and national affairs.

Although voting membership is by election or appointment, meetings are open to all, and you don't have to be a voting member to be active in the Committee's work. There are committee openings in some districts, so if you are interested in serving as a committee member let us know.

The VTDMC meets the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at the Nordic House (formerly the Internat Cafe) 233 Route 94, Vernon, NJ 07462. except as noted. In addition, events of interest coming up in the next few months are listed below.
