</div>
<div style="text-align:left"><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:noticia text,georgia,times new roman,serif">In light of the changing situation around COVID-19, we are postponing our 8th Annual Conference scheduled for March 21, 2020. We are supporting the guidance of Mayor Lightfoot and the Chicago Department of Public Health in doing all we can to minimize the impact of this virus on our community. <br>
<br>
The CCGA Annual Conference has always been a celebration of Spring, a gathering of the beautiful community of gardeners in Chicago. Hugs are always plentiful and ideas flow freely. We are so grateful to those who registered, to the presenters who created an incredible line up of workshops, to our sponsors, exhibitors, and vendors who have always been there for us.<br>
<br>
Please stay tuned as we reimagine the conference and make plans for a future event. We will contact those who prepaid their registrations. Even though we won’t be gathering to kick off the gardening season together next Saturday, know that we are all connected by our passion for planting. <br>
<br>
Be well everyone!<br>
<br>
In solidarity - CCGA</span></span></div>
