[Communications] CCGA - Winter newsletter story list

[Amy Olson]

Hi all,

Here’s the latest newsletter story list based on the meeting this eve.

If we want to aim for publishing the week of Feb. 8-12, we have 3 weeks.
As a suggestion, we could firm up the story list by Monday, that would give us two solid weeks to work on it.

CCGA winter newsletter story ideas
Conference Updates: Registration is open and important info
Order seeds early
Garden highlight - Cordia Vets garden - Talk with Babette https://news.wttw.com/2020/12/07/chicago-portrait-babette-peyton *I messaged with Cordia about the above link she sent about Babette. Such an amazing person! I told Cordia that we could maybe have a piece about her Veterans Garden in our winter newsletter. I suggested we could Babette to share her feelings about gardening with Cordia and frame the story through that lens.
