<div><br>
</div>
<div>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:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<ul class="x_MailOutline">
<li>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!</li></ul>
<div><br>
</div>
<ul class="x_MailOutline">
<li>Do you have a time in mind for the event?</li></ul>
<div><br>
</div>
<ul class="x_MailOutline">
<li>About how many people do you think will attend?</li></ul>
<div><br>
</div>
<ul class="x_MailOutline">
<li>Will you need any accommodations for accessibility? Room for tables and chairs?</li></ul>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>

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.</div>

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.</div>
