[Advocacy-outreach] Introduction & AUA-CCGA Collaboration

[Julie Samuels]

Hi, Ren,  The Advocacy and outreach folks will talk and let you know if and
when we can visit .  Are you interested in an in-person gathering?  And
will you bring anyone with you?  Also can you perhaps specifically define
what it is that you need and want in order to accomplish your goals?  My
personal interest is to build collaboration and coalition with others  in
order for us all to succeed in helping our gardeners!
