Farmers’ Market Manager Will Leave, Market to Hire
After four years as the manager of the Midtown Farmers' Market, Joanna Stone has announced she will be leaving. Joanna plans to continue working through the end of the 2007 market season and into early December to ensure a smooth transition to the new market manager. Joanna says, “I'll see you all at the market next year—as a shopper with a canvas bag instead of as a manager with a clipboard.” The Midtown Farmers' Market seeks a creative, self-motivated person with strong leadership and organizational skills for a full time position as Market Manager.
