We have so many emails related to communications that would have nothing to do with potential volunteer groups, just as I’m sure you have many emails about resources and distributions.</div><div><br></div><div>I know we were going to meet to talk about the info in the Volunteer tab of the website, and we can still do that so there is a cleaner process. I think we all agree it’s needed. </div><div><br></div><div>For now, when communications receives an email like this, we will forward it to you, like Lorraine did, and we can include the person’s contact info if it’s not easy to spot. Lorraine forwarded the email today in less than 30 minutes.</div><div><br></div><div>Amy</div><div><br></div><div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Mar 25, 2025, at 3:20 PM, Ellen Newcomer via Communications <communications@chicagocommunitygardens.org> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><div dir="ltr">Hi,<div>Please add me to the communications email address so that I get these inquiries directly.
