Anyone have a reply for Bonnie?  Not sure if we have set up a volunteer
sign up, but she didn't pick up on the forum.

Hello Lorraine and the CCGA team.

I don't use Facebook, but I absolutely love gardening and have participated
in community gardens in the other cities in which I've lived. I'd love to
support community gardening in Chicago. I don't currently have a plot but
I'm totally willing to help people with theirs - show up and weed or water,
etc. in my area (the loop). How can I offer my assistance?

I'll watch for the newsletters. Hopefully that helps me stay up to date
without Facebook.

Cheers,
B
