Budgeting Basics

Jessica said she would be able to get someone from Extension to come down to talk to us about the basics of micro-lending.  She could also find someone who does a class on Farmers Markets.  She said that on the Minnesota blog site there are USDA forms for low income loans that can be downloaded.

Barrier funds are only available until the end of June.
