Upcoming Classes and Workshops
Please pass this attachment along. I am a member of the Cherokee Nation and have invited Yolanda Martinez, Apache Master Drum Maker to the DC area to do one of her workshops at my Wolf Run Gathering Place in the Virginia mountains. I have attached a flyer about this plus a workshop on finding Winter Wild Edible Plants that runs on the Friday before Yolanda's Workshop . Any proceeds above expenses goes to support my non-profit preschool called Frog Pond Early Learning Center.
Thank you for your help.
