[Advocacy-outreach] Fwd: Join Us as a Vendor at the AGC Institute Symposium!

[Lorraine Kells]

Hello all,

Just three days ago,  I received an invitation to have CCGA  table an
event, the Academy for Global Citizenship's Institute Symposium, with
this year’s
theme of “Growing Together: Planting the Seeds of Innovation.”  It
offers us an excellent opportunity to engage participants in learning more
about us and the work we do. We truly need to reach out to more young
people to join our committees and expand and deepen our work to build
sustainable communities with our many community gardens .  When we build
connections with other community leaders and change makers, form
partnerships, and find opportunities for collaboration, we expand our
reach.There are
so many issues that community gardeners face: clean soil and water access,
citizen control and access. Some community gardens have been bulldozed,
more are threatened.

As you read through the detailed invitation, you can see we will need
people to sign on to time slots. From experience, those of us who have done
this can tell you, it is exciting to meet new people and you will also
participate and walk around to other tables. You will meet many like minded
individuals with shared missions.

We can develop new pamphlets and handouts, perhaps present a demonstration
- either seed viability or something similarly of value - does Resources
have any plant material that will be available by September 27th.  People
are always grateful to have free, small plants. Angela, Gina, please note
we need to provide our own table.

Please let me hear from you and identify please when you will be available,
so I can get back to Tony ASAP

Warmly,
Lorraine
