DESCRIPTION:

One of the great things about the Green Party is its global scope. We are fortunate to host noteworthy Greens from around the world and share our mutual experiences. This week we will once again have the opportunity to broaden our horizons and meet with Hovik Sayadyan from Armenia with whom we will discuss forestry issues. Please join us for an evening meal and conversation with Hovik. Bring your favorite vegetarian dish to share.
