 Mary Maranville
 
 Mary spoke to our club this morning regarding her organization SEEAG. Their mission is to educate students and the greater community about the farm origins of our food and agriculture's contributions to our nutritional well being. The program has been very successful thus far and it has now branched out beyond Ventura and the South County and is working it's way up to North Santa Barbara County. She also told us about a virtual live auction that will take place March 23-25. To help and participate, please register at seeag.org/auction and see the many wonderful items that are available for bidding.
