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,
March 11:00 am to 1:30 pm and open to everyone.



*Advocacy & Outreach –* No report



*Education* – No report



*Finance* – No report



A reminder, the next meeting is April 16. We will target our May meeting
