[Advocacy-outreach] [Communications] Office of Inspector General - Informational Interview Request

[Lorraine Kells]

Hello,

I believe this would be a most productive meeting, and rat infestations are
an ongoing issue for all community gardeners, so we welcome this outreach.
Our website already contains important information concerning rats. This
would be a good update to that information.

We hold monthly coordinating meetings for our five committee chairs on the
third Tuesday of each month. In order to get the word out to have more of
our gardeners attend, we might wait until our November meeting, or allow us
to plan a workshop to have an even larger gathering in November.

Chairs and representatives of our committees will be meeting Tues.Oct 17,
and hopefully we'll hear back from you before then to put this on our
agenda, and allow us to plan. You are both welcome to attend this meeting
which will be held at the Hatchery, 135 N Kedzie, from 6 to 7:30 pm.

Best,
Communications team
