Vanessa Vaughan is not only a student at the Natural Epicurean but she is also the director of the Hostelling International-Austin. Vanessa has a lot of great projects going on and she has invited the Natural Epicurean to be a part of the Hostel's celebration of green living on Saturday, February 23rd. (See invite below)

We need a couple of students to help represent The Natural Epicurean and promote green living at this local event.

These are the shifts we need filled:
