[Communications] Monthly CCGA Coordinating Meeting

[Lorraine Kells]

Ford. We have an in-person meeting coming up May 21. We have to confirm the
space at the Hatchery, a food and beverage incubator and production
facility for aspiring chefs. We have a special relationship with them to
hold our in person meetings. So please stay in touch

There are a number of events that will give you an introduction to what we
do. You may find a place for your background as we need to create a
development portion to our finance committe, a one person committee.

You are welcome to join in where you feel it's a good match. There are 5
co.mittees listed on our website. Our Advocacy and Outreach works to keep
people informrd and engaged in issues like PFAS in our soil.

The quickest way to get your hands dirty is to join a Wicker park community
garden. Our websites community garden map may help you find one. The people
developing that map will be at the 5/21 meeting. We hope to see you there.
