Hi Greentown Community,

Happy March! With daylight saving time kicking in and longer days ahead, we’re officially leaning into spring energy. We hope you’re able to get outside, soak up a little extra sunshine, and maybe even catch the St. Patrick’s Day parade this Sunday.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for Town Hall last Thursday — we’re grateful for your engagement, thoughtful questions, and the momentum you’re building across the community. Refer to these slides to get more details about the investor program, space updates, and more.

As always, there’s plenty to plug into in the weeks ahead. Read on for upcoming events, opportunities, and ways to get involved.

Best,
