Rob,
At this point, just showing up is fine!
To get to Inspiration Farm take exit 256A off North I-5. Turn right and go 6 miles N. on the Meridian St. Go right 1 mile on E. Laurel Rd. We're on the right. Watch for the yellow Gossamer Glass sign on the South side!

I am planning on attending and could give a few people a ride from Fairhaven. I just clicked the link to Inspiration Farm for registering, but couldn't navigate to a registration page. So two questions: Do we need to pre-register or just show up? And, are there directions to Inspiration Farm somewhere that I've missed? Thanks.

Hi Paul,
Glad you're planning to attend. Hopefully we'll find someone that's willing to help out with the transportation.

Hi,
My wife and I are new to the area and would like to attend the 7pm-9pm My Eco-Neighborhood Presentation on Aug 13th. We no longer own a car and would need some transportation help to and from the WWU Sehome area or from the Cordata bus station. We can help with gas expense. If you think you can help us get there please email me at netbirdseye@netscape.net
Thanks,
Paul
