Hello EarthSavers!

Today, I was informed by the Marketing Manager of Whole Foods that they are completely revamping their class program. They are switching gears and focusing on fewer classes but putting more behind them so they have a bigger impact for their customers and a better use of the money they spend. So with that, they won’t be scheduling any additional Ching Farm or Earthsave classes at this time for the Downtown or Sugarhouse stores. (There is a different marketing manager for the Ft Union and Park City stores). They say that perhaps *if* they have it in their budget in the future, that they can discuss holding the classes again, but in the meantime, they are going with their new program that is a more efficient use of their resources.

As it stands right now, there is no EarthSave class scheduled for next week :( However, I will see what I can do to hold them elsewhere (may not take effect until October), and perhaps it will be a place where we can also return to having potlucks as well. If you have any ideas, please respond to this email and I will get back to you as soon as possible!

Thank you to EVERYONE who has come to the EarthSave classes and potlucks in the past and supported the cause. We couldn't have done it without you!
