A fundraiser titled "Planting Hope" -- aimed at raising awareness and supporting efforts to combat human trafficking -- takes place Saturday May 11, 2013 from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. at a rural Berrien Springs winery (Lemon Crreek) on 533 E. Lemon Creek Road.  Free -- no pre-registration required.

The one-day learning event and plant sale is sponsored by Lemon Creek Winery, Stonehouse Nursery and Accent Earth.  Several local vendors will set up to display and sell merchandise; representatives of the Michigan Human Trafficking Task Force will operate an Awareness Tent (more details at http:// plantinghopeinmichigan dot-org ).

Proceeds from the plant sale will benefit the task force, a non-profit organization comprised of 90 organizations and officials throughout the Great Lakes State.  Among the goals of the MHTTF are:
