[Advocacy-outreach] Fwd: [Education] Forest Preserve Program

[Lorraine Kells]

Hello all,

We have an opportunity to bring our gardening know-how to an event
described in the forwarded email. This takes place the weekend before our
conference kicks-off so an opportune moment to share what CCGA is about,
share your gardening expertise, and hand out conference flyers.

Let's talk about this at Tuesdays meeting. Hope to see you there.

Lorraine

Kathleen,

This is an opportunity we would welcome.  Our Advocacy and Outreach Team is
a newly repurposed group for participation in this kind of event.

I or someone from one of our teams will get back to you shortly.

Meanwhile, let us know if you can anticipate the number of attendees for us
to prepare handouts. Will you be providing table and chairs?

Regards,
Lorraine Kells, Co-chair
CCGA Education Committee
