[Communications] Up-Coming Seed Saving Documentary Film Screening

[Lorraine Kells]

Sherry,

Thank you for this information. I would like to post it on our Facebook
Page, but $40 may be a  stretch for many of our community gardeners.
Although you offer a discount to students and farmers, we dont speak of
ourselves as urban ag non profit people. Our community gardeners are more
likely to identify as just that, or maybe grower. CCGA is a no profit, all
volunteer organization, and while we joyfully collaborate with urban
farmers, we're not like to take the discount offered to farmers. Language
tends to divide us, unfortunately, unless you can clarify the discount.

It sounds like a wonderful film.
Best of luck.

Lorraine Kells,
Communications team
