Opportunities for Involvement

At times I send notes out letting you all know about certain events in the area...I usually pick big ones or ones that are close to New City.  However, there are many events in the region hosted by other Stream Teams.  I thought I might share info once in a while about some of the events on the MO Stream Teams calendar, in case there's an opportunity that makes sense for you.
