9 Days Left…

flintclub — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:34:08 +0000

Flint Club has just 9 days left to reach our goal of $1,000 for our I Am Flint project on IndieGoGo! Can you help us reach $1,000? Just $5, $10 or $20 will help us to continue I Am Flint. Did you watch the first video featuring Dick Ramsdell of the Flint Farmers’ Market? It was a wonderful way to kick-off our project. This past week Board President Cathy Lancaster was in the Market for Thanksgiving goods and said the vendors were busy & the customers were so happy. Buying local and supporting the Flint area economy is key and you can do so by stopping in to the Market!

Thanks for your support!
