GAINING GROUND
A group of MSU, community and business leaders is working together on
founding a center for sustainability in Starkville.

The intent will be focused on improving the quality of life through sustainable
choices for all in Mississippi. Educational hands-on opportunities will be centered
around housing, job training, organic food production and sustainable living.

The group will host a retreat at the Refuge visitor center on January 23 to discuss
strategy, build a core group and formulate goals. The center will be called
"Gaining Ground Sustainability Institute of Mississippi".

The group is in the process of forming a 501(c)3 and getting a website up and
running. The web address is www.gaininggroundmississippi.org. If you would
like to be involved you can contact Alison Buehler at aeramp@yahoo.com.
