Message-ID: Hello Sora, Welcome again. This email is sent from me, Lorraine Kells, co-chair of the CCGA Education Committee. Gina Jamison is my co-chair. She is on this email with her community garden name kuumba tre ahm. We will be at the meeting, and someone from Advocacy and Outreach may be on zoom. Please join us Tuesday evening 6pm. If you have any questions before then, please let us hear from you. The Education team is actively working with Communications and Advocacy on a city wide endeavor to create an Urban Agriculture Ordinance for all growers in the city. I've attached the flyer for more information, and you can take the survey to add your voice.

Message-ID: Lorraine - that would be great if you could post this tomorrow on FB, I can get Instagram if that helps! I think it would be good to connect this article with the Chicago Urban Agriculture Plan we?re working on with AUA - encourage people to complete the survey and also attend a listening session. (The upcoming session does not address water access, but the following one will) Amy > On Jun 25, 2025, at 12:25?PM, M Toy via Communications wrote: > > I agree that we should post. > > Thanks. > May > > The content of this email is confidential and intended for the recipient specified in message only.
