Food Blog South and DISCO

Currently, I'm attending a full day workshop on how to blog about the things I love: food, gardening, teaching, photography and many more. This is an event benefitting the Desert Island Supply Company.

It's amazing and there is also a teen workshop at 1:00.

Students, there are many ways for you to get involved (whether you can make it here or not):

1. Choose a book you would like to have on your own deserted island, look over DISCO's wish list and ask someone to partner with you in donating to their library ($100 donation)

2. Attend a student workshop, open and free to ages 6-18 (check DISCO's website for a full schedule)

3. Submit your own writing by finishing this sentence,

*Food is....

(submit to help@desertislandsupplyco.com)

*By submitting , you give DISCO the right to publish your work in poster/book form.
