Thanks to our volunteers for hosting PPAN tables at multiple events today and over the weekend!
BeeChicas Founder and PPAN partner, Theresa Beck, engaged community members of all ages at the Lucky's Market North Boulder Volunteer Fair on Saturday. It was a beautiful Earth Day weekend and PPAN is thankful for the opportunity to promote our work alongside Growing Gardens and Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, among others. If you missed it and want to sign up for PPAN volunteer opportunities, you can still do so on our website: peopleandpollinators.org/.
Come visit us at the Longmont Museum today 10-3. Sustainable Resilient Longmont Earth Day Celebration.
Lucky’s continues to be a champion for bees and other pollinators through their ongoing support of PPAN – both through their generous support of our Legislative Breakfast earlier this month, as well as through their Bags for Change program.
Remember, if you shop at the North Boulder @Lucky’s Market, now through May 25th, bring your own bags so that you can support PPAN with your wooden dimes! And help support Lucky’s by voting for them in the Best of Boulder survey bit.ly/2S8EiZT, now through March 31st!
