[Advocacy-outreach] Fwd: Garden Clubs of Illinois 2025 Convention

[Marsha Wyatt]

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?

Warm regards,
Marsha Wyatt
President/Maxwell Street Community Garden
