Hello All,

This is a reminder that the next CCGA coordinating meeting is TOMORROW,
Tuesday September 19 at 6PM. This is our normal monthly meeting for
September.

This will be an in-person meeting at The Hatchery, 135 N. Kedzie Ave.  As our
first in-person meeting of 2023 it will be exciting to re-engage with each
other and build up our energy as we start to consider new initiatives for
2024.

A draft agenda is attached.  If you have any specific agenda items to add
or suggest then email a note to communications at chicagocommunitygardens.org

year, please check your calendars and mark these dates listed below.  CCGA
will be setting up an information table at each of these events and we need
at least 2 CCGA volunteers per event.  Please email
communications at chicagocommunitygardens.org if you can commit to one of
these dates.
