[Communications] Working Group Name Change

[Lorraine Kells]

Hello all,

A request went to JW May 6 and May 10 requesting a name change on the CCGA
website for the working groups.  The request was to have Membership changed
to Outreach and Advocacy and to have Resources changes to Resources and
Distribution

As of today there is no change to the website.  Anyone know how to do this?

The description of Outreach and Advocacy needs to be rewritten.  I believe
JW did reach out to Julie about this, but I've seen no email or texts or
change.

Although it is high gardening season and we are not meeting, CCGA has new
subscribers almost daily.  I send a welcome email to each new subscriber
and many of them follow up with a request to join the forum.  As a
subscriber we already know the new subscriber started out on our website.
We have a responsibility to keep the website active and update it.  So JW,
Julie, folks please find a bit of your time to work on a few critical
pieces of our website.
As you can see from the copied text from CCGA website, it is not up to date.

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE

Some of the Membership Committee’s
<http://chicagocommunitygardens.org/membership/> work items include: host
CCGA open governance quarterly meetings, help maintain calendar, engage
existing gardeners in CCGA activities, facilitate individual gardener
referrals to gardens, organize and act as conduit for special ad-hoc
volunteer efforts, help recruit and prepare CCGA volunteers for CCGA
special events, help develop annual budget, initiate modest funding to
support 5 year budget, oversee grant submittal and charitable giving, etc…;
RESOURCES COMMITTEE

The Resource Committee
<http://chicagocommunitygardens.org/resources-committee/> helps maintain
resources to be shared by all gardens throughout Chicago, *sponsors plant
distributions*, special gardening tools & supplies, manage greenhouse
resources & activities, etc…;

Please, let's keep CCGA a vibrant and vital resource through our website in
these few months that we are not meeting.

Regards,

Lorraine
