Lorraine,<br>
It seems like a million years since we communicated on
Wednesday, but that's how fast the world is changing. While I
appreciate the shout out in your newsletter, I have to question why
CCGA is still planning to have the conference on March 21. Today I
received notice that the Chicago Flower & Garden Show had been
canceled, as well as the Spring Symposium at the Allen Centennial
Garden in Madison, Wisconsin. Both of the Chicago St. Patrick's Day
parades have been canceled, as well as a Loyola Chicago
environmental conference.<br>
Why are you still planning to have the CCGA Conference? At this
point, it defies all logic.<br>
Frankly, I'm uncomfortable telling people to show up to your
event on March 21.<br>
Please let us know why you plan to hold this event as scheduled.<br>
<br>
Mike<br>

Sunday to the
Mike Nowak Show to hear
Mike Strode talk about his
workshop "The Offers and
Needs Market." The show
has been called the
"greenest show on the air
or in the cloud," and our
other Mike is pretty green
too; he is an urban
cyclist. Mike Stroud has
told us his grounding
philosophy is mycelium,
collaborative agility,
empathic
individualization, and all
things human glue. Let's
all tune in on Sunday to
hear more about what all
of that means for creating
greater human resilience. <br>

<em>Listen to the Mike
Nowak Show on WCGO 1590
AM or 95.5 FM, Sundays
from 9-11am. Tune in to

hear the birdsongs of
robins and blackbirds
and the chirps and
cackles of woodpeckers
as they head here to
nest in our oaks,
sycamores, and in the
hackberry and hickory
trees. Even year-round
birds like
black-capped
chickadees get noisier
in Spring. Purple
martins search for
human-made nesting
boxes. Who doesn’t
want to continue
seeing these birds and
hearing those
rollicking songs and
flute-like excited
twitters? <br>
