November Newsletter

GWI

The cooler winds and fallen leaves herald the coming of our national day of thanksgiving. At GWI, there’s much we are thankful for every day: the gorgeous, generous earth below us serving as our shared home, the abundance of well-tended and harvested foods from our regional farmers, the many acts of creativity expressed by those who call themselves artists and those who don’t, and the wide array of good work done by all of you and others throughout the Valley and larger world. We are grateful for you.
