Desert Green XXIV

|
With the direction and support of our Foundation board of directors and partner groups, Desert Green Foundation has made the difficult decision to cancel our event for 2020. With the health and wellbeing of attendees, speakers and sponsors as our top priority, we feel this is the most responsible decision at this time.
We look forward to regrouping for the 2021 year. In the meantime, be well. |
