> Chrys writes,
> "This will be an opportunity to meet face-to-face and discuss ideas  
> for developing a seed sharing network and training program for new  
> seed savers. I am also thinking of organizing a seed swap to be held  
> at CCE in February or early March and would like to find out who is  
> interested in participating.
