Hello-
Here is a two day conference on Food Circles/Food Sheds there are
several
good presenters here. I will be trying to contain myself to talking about
community gardens, though many of these are topics I would love to talk
about. I may go to the whole thing, but I am pretty busy. I have a Master
Gardener meeting the night before, a CGC board meeting later that night,
and I am working on our "Get Fresh with the Community Garden Coalition"
cookbook. By the way, I am still looking for great recipes.
Namaste',

Hi Guy!

Thanks for helping us out next week at our training session for our new
networkers. I have put you down from 4:15 - 4:45 on Wednesday, November
18, but have not been able to confirm Denny Schrock for 3:45-4:15 yet so
you might be able to have that time. Will that work for you? I hope we
don't cut into your meeting time too much. Also any part of the
training session you want to attend, please do so. We would love to
have your input.

Thanks again for helping out!

Mary
