Feeding Northeast Florida Event
CASK has been invited to serve mead at Feeding Northeast Florida’s grand opening. Feeding Northeast Florida is a local food bank that serves Duval and 11 surrounding counties. They are expecting around 350 attendees at this event. Thank you to the volunteers that have agreed to serve for the event and everyone who has offered to bring mead.
If you have a bottle or two of delicious mead that you would be willing to share I’ll be at Ink Factory Saturday night for the meeting. The event is six weeks away, so there’s time to get that mead in bottles that’s clearing on the shelf. If you have questions or need to coordinate a pick up email me at: treasurer@thecask.org
