Hello,

I have been remiss in contacting this group and forwarding their
request to all of you until today. They have explained well what their
group is and how they operate.  They had already volunteered at
Maxwell Street last year, and that garden included in this forward as
well, so even if you can't provide a work day on Saturday, July 12,
giving them your garden name and contact information for future
opportunities would be much appreciated. Please reply all so that we
are communicating interest and not duplicating emails. Happy gardening

Warmest Regards,
Lorraine

Hello!

I hope you are well!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our corporate volunteer
Friends and Family Day is set for Saturday, July 12th this year, and
we are super excited to see if there are any opportunities for us to
volunteer again! We understand you partner with community gardens
around the city and are hoping to leverage your relationships to find
the perfect fit.

 A little bit about us: we are a law firm that hosts a Friends and
Family Day every year, and last year, we had an amazing time
volunteering at Maxwell St. Community Garden. It was such a huge hit!
Our group is a wonderful mix of ages and abilities, and we got
involved in activities like weeding, trimming bushes, and pruning
hedges. The kids had a blast too, with around 20 children (ages 2-14)
participating in fun activities. Last year, our group consisted of
about 75 enthusiastic volunteers.

We are hoping to start our volunteering around 10am or 10:30am and
wrap up around 12pm. After that, we plan to enjoy a delightful lunch
at a nearby restaurant.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions. We are
eagerly looking forward to connecting with you and making this year's
event just as fantastic!

Thank you so much!
