Hello campers,
I hope you’re all doing well. We’re taking this week off as far as workshops go with a lot of folks out at Sky Earth, but we’ve got a Keep Austin Beautiful Day clean this Saturday, a Navigation workshop next week, and a bunch of new workshops announced at the bottom of this email. Questions: email mark@buzzmillcoffee.com. Hope to see you soon!
Keep Austin Beautiful Day Neighborhood Cleanup
The Buzz Mill, Lumber Society, JNL Barbecue, and Squatch Frontier Fitness are teaming up to help clean up a site not far south from Buzz Mill at 2400 Douglas Street. We’ll be working at this location to help prepare it as a locale for the neighbors to enjoy. This will be mainly trash pickup. We’ll head back to Buzz Mill for a free drink and snack afterward. More details at the link. RSVP now!
