We’d love as much community input as possible without adding to everyone’s meeting and volunteering load. Ideally, a representative from each community group could join Progress Inc so we can work together on a long-term plan for Burren that we can all be proud of. Many hands make light work.
Annual membership is $10. We meet 3-4 times a year, and meetings are ONLY ONE HOUR!

Kind regards, Burren Progress Inc Committee.
