Dear DASH-NY Members,



Thank you so much to those who have completed the Farm to Institution NYS (FINYS) survey! They have received over 200 responses to date demonstrating strong interest in farm to institution opportunities in New York.



Join your colleagues to ensure the FINYS goals represent your organization and community. Please complete our very short survey<http://support.nyam.org/site/R?i=YwfaolodL1kz75jBqaCQKA>. The survey will close this Friday, June 17th at midnight.



Your response will take less than 10 minutes, but your input will be of lasting help to all of us who would like to expand the availability of local foods in public and private institutions across New York. It will inform the work of Farm to Institution New York State (FINYS), a promising partnership of agricultural, public health and economic development organizations, including my own.



To encourage candor, neither your name nor affiliation will be attached to your response, though you will have an opportunity, on a separate screen, to give your contact information and stay connected with these efforts, and we hope you do.



Thanks in advance for your willingness to share your insights and advice!



Sincerely,



Rebecca Abraham, MPH
