A wonderful New Year to you. We hope that your year is filled to the brim with blessings and local food (though maybe this is the same thing)!

A new year means a new market season and we are excited to begin our planning. We will hold our first meeting in the upstairs room of McCleary’s Public House in Marietta on January 13th from 1-2:30. Anyone who desires is welcome to attend! The Steering Committee will meet privately from 2:30-3:00.

If you wish to participate as a Steering Committee Member, we will be voting on the positions of Chair, Secretary, Vendor Relations, Treasure, and Operations. If you wish to participate as a volunteer for music, events, or outreach, feel free to come and make yourself known as well! If you are interested but unable to attend or would like further information, please feel free to email me.

Our January meeting will also cover approving the Vendor Agreement & bylaws, reviewing our 2013 financial obligations, and discussions of our Market Manager.

All of our remaining meetings will also be held at McCleary’s on the second Sunday of March, April, July, September, and November from 1-2:30. Again, the Steering Committee will meet privately from 2:30-3:00. If you wish to add something to the agenda, please make that known one week prior to the meeting.

McCleary’s is graciously donating their space so that we can have a consistent place to meet and to accommodate all those who wish to attend. We plan to show our thanks by enjoying a snack or beverage after the meetings, so feel free to join us for our social hour as well!

Thank you all very much! Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions at all. Here is to another successful market season.
