Wow, I'm overwhelmed. Despite the monsoon, at least 80-90 people showed up at the OPEN HIVE launch party on Saturday (including a few friends from the city who braved the downpour on the Taconic).
Thanks to all who came. It's heartwarming to have so much support (or maybe it was just the free food and drink...). And special thanks to those who donated time or stuff to make OPEN HIVE such a success (see below).
BEAHIVE is just getting started and we're already at 17 members. Stay tuned for a host of programs and projects. Here are just a few coming up in the next month:
WORKSHOP - Pitching Your Story to Publications

PLANNING MEETING - Hudson Valley Real Food Cooperative

If you have suggestions or you'd like to use the space for your own event, workshop or group meeting, let me know. We can work out either a nominal rental fee or free use, depending on the nature of the event.
