Agenda - Participants

Meeting Background: The CBFN Fall Meeting was hosted by Steering Committee member, the Agua Fund, in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley at the Stonewall Jackson Inn in Staunton, VA.  The Agua Fund is also a member of the Agriculture Workgroup and agriculture was the main theme of our visit.  Participants took part in a day of farm tours and a traditional Mennonite dinner as a part of our evening program with guest speaker Jack Frye from Virginia's Dept. of Conservation and Recreation.
