[Communications] Volunteer

[Erik Hernandez]

Happy New Year everyone and thanks for connecting us. I'm feeling like this
might be the theme for 2021...connections!
Andrea, let us know if either of the two gardens Lorraine mentioned in her
email are close to you and we'll be happy to connect you with the garden
leaders.
Feel free to check out our website <http://neighbor-space.org/>, follow us
on facebook <https://www.facebook.com/NeighborSpace/> and subscribe to our
newsletter <http://neighbor-space.org/get-involved/join-our-email-list/>,
too!

Be safe everyone!
