[Communications] Search for Location for Garden Planting Event, Late-Spring 2025

[Ernita Cooper]

Good morning, Amy.

I hope you are well. I left you a voicemail this morning, following up on our conversation on Tuesday afternoon.

If you have received responses to my inquiry from members of your association, please feel free to share my contact information with them or theirs with me. I have some time today and would like to check out some of the gardens this afternoon, if possible.

Thanks for all your assistance thus far. I look forward to hearing from you soon.


Regards,
Ernita Cooper

Hello Ernita,

Thank you for contacting CCGA about your upcoming event, we’d love to help! We're happy to connect you with some community gardeners in our network, and it would be very helpful to know a bit more about your event. I’ll list a few questions below:


  *   Is there an area of the city that would work best for your event? There are many community gardens that are close to public transportation and have parking all over the city!


  *   Do you have a time in mind for the event?


  *   About how many people do you think will attend?


  *   Will you need any accommodations for accessibility? Room for tables and chairs?


We already have a couple of gardeners interested in hosting! Feel free to reply to this email or give me a call, my number is below.

In kindness,
Amy

Hello,

My name is Ernita Cooper and I am a member of Illinois Women Conquer ALZ (IWCA), the women's committee of the Illinois Chapter of Alzheimer's Association. I am co-chairing a garden planting event to benefit the organization and am looking for a community garden location to hold the event.

The proposed date for the event is Saturday, May 31, 2025. We hope to hold the event at a community garden that is close to public transportation and parking. Any suggestions or guidance you provide would be greatly appreciated. I hope to receive a reply from you soon.


Regards,
