<p class="MsoNormal">I’m reaching out to learn more about the Education Committee through CCGA and the work that you do for the community. Currently, I’m working on a virtual event that will allow community members to learn various topics on health and wellness
including urban gardening . We’d like to provide a short 15 minute demo on how they can grow their own produce at home to help them live healthier lives. I’d appreciate the opportunity to share more information about this event in the case you may have an
organization in your network that would be interested in participating.<u></u><u></u></p>
