Continuing After We Are Finished

• The team is very interested in keeping the Jessamine Goes Green team as a volunteer group for use by other people as a support system. We already have a list of growing resources that would come in handy for any individual that would contact us. We are also trying to set up a group with the Jessamine County Public Library for more support.
