Hi Everyone,

We have a wonderful event coming up we hope the whole Santa Barbara permaculture community will come out and be a part of!  We can use some help with set-up the evening of the event if you'd like to help with that, and we could especially use help with music, if you know of any musicians that might want to donate a couple of hours for this worthy cause.  Raffle items would be greatly appreciated to help raise funds for Indigenous Permaculture de Aztlan and the work they do.
