GJ MAIN STREET COMMUNITY GARDEN EMAIL CLEAN-UP

It is about that time of year where we are looking to clean things up around the garden. That includes this email list. If you are on this list, it is because you are either a member or you have shown some interest in the past. We are hoping to streamline things to be sure that this email communication is being put to good use, primarily as our main line of communication with our members. If you are not a member, but you wish to continue to receive emails from this Main Street Community Garden info. hub, you will need to be sure to reply to this message in order to let us know what your intentions are and that you wish to be on the general community info. list. Members will also need to reply to this message in order to make certain that we are aware of your continued interest and your plans for involvement in 2011 and in order to continue receiving these messages. All parties interested in remaining on this email list should respond by Thurs., Oct. 7th. Those who do not respond will be removed from the list. 

In 2011 we are aiming to continue to grow our membership and fine tune the way that the garden operates. We are principally interested in our members being downtown residents who intend to work together with their fellow community members to maintain and reap the rewards of the garden, as well as harvest our surplus food for local charities. Please spread the word to your neighbors and friends who might be interested in joining us in these goals. 
  
Correction of a task listed in last week's email:
We will be ripping out the row of beans (NOT the chard and arugula) in the middle section of the garden to make room for a whole row of garlic seed. Therefore, please harvest those beans for yourself this week prior to the removal of the plants at Thursday's work session.

We seem to have some non-members from the community who may be helping themselves to our produce. Please do your part to address fellow gardeners when working in the garden and feel free to explain to those who do not appear to be members how the garden works. It is NOT a free for all. It IS members only.

Plan ahead to join in a community potluck at the garden to take place on Thurs., Oct. 7th at 6:30pm. Please invite your neighbors and friends!
  
Thank you and Happy Autumn!
