Thank you Kathryn and Reiley!

The GardenShare staff will have a new look in the coming months. Reiley Burwell is moving to Lake Placid to join the North Country School as their Communication Associate, while Kathryn Puleo is transitioning to the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce as their Destination Services Manager.

I am fortunate to watch their passion for food justice, local food access, and caring for our community grow during their time at GardenShare. It has been a pleasure to work with you on the GardenShare team.

I wish these two fantastic North Country gals the best in their new roles.
