National AgrAbility Project

NTW 2018 To Do List!

• Register for the conference here!
• Book your hotel room using the details provided.
• Plan some fun around the conference. Check out www.visitportland.com for ideas.
• Find funding to bring one of your state's farmers to the event. Each SRAP is asked to fund one farmer, with stipends being available for additional farmers through generous donations. Let Abi Jensen know who you are bringing so that can be recorded.
• After your SRAP has funded a farmer, have additional farmers apply for a stipend. Click here for the stipend form. Applications for stipends are due February 7th, 2018.
• Solicit donations for farmer stipends; silent auction; and live auction items.
• Start creating your state's raffle basket. We had a great showing from our SRAPs at last year's event, and everyone enjoyed taking the chance to win.
• If you would like to ship items in advance of the event, Lani Carlson of Maine AgrAbility has agreed to receive them. Ship to: Maine AgrAbility - University of Maine Cooperative Extension, 138 Pleasant Street #1, Farmington, ME 04938.
