CCGA Coordinating Committee Meeting Minutes

March 19, 2024 - 6pm on Zoom



Attending:  JW Glass, Barb Dennis, Gina Jamison, Mamie Gray, Angela Taylor
and Lorraine Kells, with guest Maria Herrara of Enlace joining mid meeting



Motion to accept February minutes made by JW, seconded simultaneously by
Barb & Gina.

Meeting called to order 6:08pm



*Project/Event Updates *



Newsletter planning. Barb asked if an Eagle Scout donation to CCGA could be
submitted to the Newsletter as a story.  Both JW and Lorraine responded
yes. Photos are welcome.



Lorraine made an open call to anyone wanting attend the Humboldt Park
Library Seed Swap as a CCGA member, setting up a table or just being
present. Gina mentioned she would and Lorraine said she would send a
handout that Maria, the librarian, could print out in b&w



Lorraine and JW mentioned the Chicago Urban Fishing Program and shared the
screen with the information. It was well received as a free kids and family
focused program.



*Committee Reports*



*Communications ? *JW led a discussion of posting on the website, but
pointed out the difficulty of finding a time that he, Mamie, and Sarah
could meet on zoom. There is a need to build a team of people to meet, post
event flyers and notices submitted to CCGA and put them on the calendar in
a timely manner. We need to put this blurb in the newsletter.



For the garden map, JW pointed out that you won?t get a garden name until
you click on the map. JW needs to look at plug-ins which look promising for
the volunteer form. He will present them for the April meeting.



*Resources and Distribution*

Barb reported on CCGA partnering with the Garfield Park Conservatory, 300
N. Central Park Ave., March 23 for workshops on Planting for Pollinators
topics with seed and plant distribution. In the Jensen room, Saturday,

Hello,

My name is Giniqua and I am the Family and Volunteer Engagement Manager with Big Brothers Big Sisters. We are looking for more ways for our matches (mentors and mentees) to experience nature and community gardens. I would love to work with you all to identify gardens around the city that we can visit. Thank you so much.


Let's Live Well!

Gigi

Hi Giniqua !

Delighted to hear from you!  It's a "small, small world".  I actually
wrote to you and Jennifer on April 18th from my Maxwell Street Community
Garden email  after hearing from a BBBS volunteer who wanted to bring his
mentee to visit Maxwell for Earth Day. Sadly, he did not respond.  I am
hopeful that he ended up at Wicker Park near his home.

I am one of the CCGA gardeners on the Advocacy-Outreach team.  I'd love to
schedule a call with you soon to learn more about your needs and
expectations so that I can help you get connected to gardens near to your
mentors/mentees.

Please share some dates/times that would work for you !

Warm Regards,
Marsha Wyatt
President/Maxwell Street Community Garden
