If there is not a group in your area, why not start your own? Our administrative assistant, Joanne Gibbons, can provide you with a list of NE members in your area for you to invite.

Join in the fun and host a Mini-Meeting in your area! St. Louis stirred up some fun in July 2010: The Saint Louis area Nutrition Entrepreneurs braved the 105 degree heat index to tour the Soulard Farmers Market on July 17th. After gathering at Jean Caton's home for networking and refreshments, we grabbed the red wagon and walked to the Market. We sought out the purveyors of locally grown watermelons, peaches, goat cheese, and much more. Here are some of us leaving the market with our red wagon filled with our purchases.Thanks to Stephanie Kern, for organizing the group. We will meet again when she returns from her mission trip to Guatemala.
