[Communications] May 21 plant distribution

[Amy Olson]

Hi Mamie! We get so many emails - and you’re right - it’s hard to keep track when the subject line does not reflect the contents of the message. You’re the one who is on top of your game! CCGA is VERY fortunate to have you on the team. Thank you for your kind words, I needed that :)

Amy

> Hello Amy, and thank you for responding. It is no excuse allowing an inquiry to fall through the cracks;  it would just be helpful if the “subject line” had been changed and the email not placed in the distribution black hole. I usually move questions to a different folder. You are always on top of your game; and CCGA is fortunate to have you on the team. Best, Mamie

>> Good morning Mamie!
>> I am emailing for two reasons.
>> First, I am confirming plant distribution pick up for the AGA Mindful Living Garden (3323 N Drake <https://www.google.com/maps/search/3323+N+Drake?entry=gmail&source=g>) for Saturday.
>> Second, I am wondering what the Avondale Gardening Alliance should do to qualify to be listed in the "neighborhood garden networks" portion of the CCGA website.
