Tue Jan 5 12:22:23 CST 2021

Hi Alejandro,

Sure you can join in and help us at CCGA. Why don’t you plan on joining our
next planning meeting on January 16th at 6pm.

I’ll make sure you get the reminder email. It will be an online Zoom
meeting.

You can check our site here:
https://chicagocommunitygardens.org/ccga-organization/

And view the working groups you could potentially join as well as help with
our upcoming conference.

Let me know if you have any questions.

>> Hello Chicago Gardening Community,
>>
>> Here we are, at the close of a deeply challenging year that has tested
>> our resilience and strengthened our connections beyond measure. This year
>> our gardens flourished despite lockdowns, and with guidelines, served as
>> vital resources in our communities for good nutrition, physical activity,
>> social connections, and environmental stewardship amidst the pandemic.
>>
>> As we move forward and look to 2021, we are happy to announce that our
>> annual conference will be going virtual! Save the date - March 20, 2021 -
>> for a lively and informative day of presentations, networking, and
>> connections, all from the comfort of your home.
>>
>>
>>
>> The conference theme “Connections through Gardening: Plants, People and
>> the Environment,” builds on our foundation for the 2020 conference, and
>> aims to explore and celebrate the interconnectedness of our shared garden
>> work. Our virtual platform will create a unique space for gardeners to get
>> inspired, connect, and have conversations that shape and support best
>> practices for sustainable living and growing in Chicago.
>>
>> Registration will open in February. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for
>> more details! Follow CCGA on Facebook or check our website

>> the environment.
