> tomorrow before the rains come. If the bales get soaked, they will  
> not store over the winter. We need to mobilize some help to bring in  
> 400 bales tomorrow around 12 noon. If the rains threaten earlier, we  
> will need to meet in the morning and move quickly. Laughing Goat is  
> located at 1485 Mecklenburg Rd. Ithaca, NY.

> We know this is short notice and we welcome any time you can spare.  
> If you can make it, please email us at ithacacropmob at gmail.com and  
> let us know that you will be there.

> Let's join together in sending thoughts of strength and solidarity
