Message-ID: Hi Megan, I am following up on your request to CCGA for a panelist for the Garden Clubs of IL 2025 Convention in April. A lifelong gardener and president of an urban community garden in a diverse neighborhood in Chicago where outreach to the community is a high priority. I'm back and forth to the suburbs all the time, having worked in Downers Grove, Lisle and Oakbrook for many years. Could we arrange a phone call sometime soon to discuss further?

I am a senior at Loyola University Chicago, majoring in Environmental Studies and Political Science. I am reaching out today to see if anyone at your organization is available to discuss your expertise on community gardens. For our senior research capstone for the School of Environmental Sustainability, I am working with three other students to examine the interconnection of community gardens and circular economies. Our project aims to consider how a community garden that demonstrates the characteristics of a circular economy can help address food accessibility in neighborhoods dealing with food insecurity. We understand your time is valuable, as you are doing important work in Chicago communities. Our goal is to create a final output that can inform city officials of the benefits of implementing community gardens under a circular framework. We believe your input would be insightful to this goal. Thank you for your consideration, and we hope to hear from you.

Message-ID: <8CD4DB51-1838-4922-AF0C-67C1DFCE9F01@me.com> Hi Lorraine and all, I did a quick review of ZipScout?s website and this seems like a legitimate company. However, it also seems the sponsorships would involve marketing/advertising to our ?local? audience, so I am thinking that means sponsor ads/links placed on the website, social media, etc. CCGA has always veered away from sponsor advertising, but if anyone wants to revisit this idea, perhaps we could talk about it at the March coordinating meeting.

I told her I would share these details with all of you, and then those who are interested in hosting her event can reach out to her directly. Area of the city: Near Loop, West Loop, South Loop, up to Lincoln Park, south to Hyde Park, or can be further west, north, or south if close to public transportation and has parking Time: Saturday, May 31. She?s thinking about 10am-Noon, could be flexible. Attendees: Could be about 20 people, maybe more if gardeners and community members are also invited. Description: This is a fundraiser for the Illinois chapter of the Alzheimer?s Association. Ernita?s mom has Alzheimer?s and has been an avid gardener. She envisions that attendees will plant seedlings/bulbs they will provide as a donation to the garden. After planting, there will be light refreshments and small bites. She?d like a DJ and jazz music, and they?ll have a photographer. We also talked about sharing this event on our social media to amplify one another?s work and the message that gardening is beneficial for many areas of health. Contact: Ernita Cooper, tel. 312-925-0366, email ernita at hotmail.com Please reach out to Ernita if you?re interested and let me know you need my help!

She called early this afternoon after reviewing Maxwell's social media for a quick chat. Seems that our geographic location might be a good one for their group and she will be meeting with them in the next few days to see if their team is aligned. Their group has a solid team-building/sponsoring program and this could be a great event for all and most of all to promote awareness of this disease to Maxwell's gardeners. Again -- thank you for making the time to reach out and reply to her. Warm regards, Marsha -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
