[Communications] From CCGA - March 21st Community Gardeners Conference

[JW Glass]

Hi Deb & MidFex Friends,

Yes, we had our meeting today. The CCGA gardeners conference on the 21st is
cancelled. We are just sending out emails now and updating our website.

I'll be at both grafting workshops to help out.  JW Glass
