CCGA?s own May Toy volunteered and was selected to serve on the advisory council which has the responsibility of reviewing and looking across all seven of the pillar research-working groups. These seven pillars were selected to guide the community discussion and research efforts moving forward. Please accept this invitation from May and the Advocacy & Outreach team to take these surveys from the We Will Chicago working groups. They are seeking your input on a series of questions drafted over the past several weeks by each of the 7 pillar research groups. Planning for Chicago's first citywide plan in 50 years requires asking ourselves some big questions. *There is a survey for each of the 7 pillars.* Please answer each survey with your honest responses to better shape this plan. If you don't think that these questions reflect your priorities, please indicate that and tell us what your priorities are. We are seeking input to build a better and equitable Chicago for everyone. Your input to these questions will help shape the policy recommendations included in the citywide plan. *The survey will end on November 15.* Then let's hear more from all of you about this at our November 16th meeting. Help the #WeWillChicago team answer them at https://wewillchicago.com/ Regards Lorraine -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Edde hopes to continue assisting gardens until *Dec. 15* or until the weather shuts us down. Thanks to LaVerne for pitching in and helping them get started. A flyer is attached that helps answer questions, and Edde is hoping you can share the news with gardeners that fall within the boundaries of the Terra Firma program.

CCGA?s own May Toy volunteered and was selected to serve on the advisory council which has the responsibility of reviewing and looking across all seven of the pillar research-working groups. These seven pillars were selected to guide the community discussion and research efforts moving forward. Please accept this invitation from May and the Advocacy & Outreach team to take these surveys from the We Will Chicago working groups. They are seeking your input on a series of questions drafted over the past several weeks by each of the 7 pillar research groups. Planning for Chicago's first citywide plan in 50 years requires asking ourselves some big questions. *There is a survey for each of the 7 pillars.* Please answer each survey with your honest responses to better shape this plan. If you don't think that these questions reflect your priorities, please indicate that and tell us what your priorities are. We are seeking input to build a better and equitable Chicago for everyone. Your input to these questions will help shape the policy recommendations included in the citywide plan. *The survey will end on November 15.* Then let's hear more from all of you about this at our November 16th meeting. Help the #WeWillChicago team answer them at https://wewillchicago.com/ Regards Lorraine -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is such great news. Thank you Edde, and this news is getting passed on to the chairs and working groups of CCGA. Edde hopes to continue assisting gardens until *Dec. 15* or until the weather shuts us down. Thanks to LaVerne for pitching in and helping them get started. A flyer is attached that helps answer questions, and Edde is hoping you can share the news with gardeners that fall within the boundaries of the Terra Firma program. Please reach out to her directly if you have any questions. Contact Edde Jones Terra Firma Community Outreach Consultant Greencorps Chicago NFP C: (773) 398-9827 If you know of more people who can be reached with this flyer, please forward it to them.
