We’ll be tabling from 10am to 6pm at this free music festival in Mid-City.  Please come by and hang out at the table, talking with folks about our co-op.  Tabling is an excellent way to enjoy the day.  See info at Bayou Boogaloo.

This is the kickoff event for the Pop City t-shirt project benefit being given for our co-op. We are the second beneficiary in this year-long program. Funds earned are earmarked for outreach to low-income New Orleanians.  We’ll be tabling to sign-up new members.  Please join us. The tabling events are always a lot of fun– people are hungry for the hope our project inspires.
