[Advocacy-outreach] [Communications] Partnership Inquiry

[Julie Samuels]

Hi, Lorraine, Marsha and May,
I have one suggestion and that would be to provide copies of our Basic
Steps to Starting a Garden Manuals after talking to people who are
interested in doing that.  I found it very hard to find it and open it on
our website.  So we could just bring a manual sample or two and provide
folks with how to open, find and see the manual to unload and copy it??
Also I'm going to see if I could just provide little printed  copies of the
"link" that they can use to find it on the site.   These are the steps
listed on the site:
1. Resources
2. DIY Guide
3. Starting A Community Garden
 I think we would start by hearing what the people there would like to do
and know and chat a while to see what they would need and what we can
suggest they do showing them the manual.
Where do we  meet in the Caldwell Woods and what time?   I can contact Mr.
Ortega unless someone else would like to do that.

Julie
