Over 25 volunteers from Northern California met as Hidden Villa on Oct. 22, 2011.  Eliza, Jill, and Pat from Heifer International had a full agenda planned! Nine of the Sacramento area volunteers attended the event and we all had a great time and learned a lot!

We started the morning with ice-breakers to get to know other volunteers in our region. Pat then shared with us the variety of ways that volunteer groups around the nation are working together to end hunger and poverty. We had time to review Heifer's Corner Stones, to look at our plans for the next year, and to brainstorm projects and activities for the coming year.
