Potluck re-cap

Hi all,

It was an especially delicious potluck last night!!!! Next month , (the first Wednesday of November, always the first Wednesday of the month - put it on your recurring dates) the potluck will move indoors to Jan and Rob's house. As always kids are welcome, and she has plenty of toys!

There will be no more meetings at potlucks!!!! Yay!!!!! Do we want food related educational food movies? (King Corn, Food Inc., Future of Food come to mind) Or do we just want to hang out?

We have a steering committe: Beth, Mark, Vikte, Jan, Tish, Meg, and myself. We will begin meeting in November. We will be the deciders! Of course we will take everyone's (who is truly involved in the garden) opinion into account and come up with what we think is feasable and what pleases most people.

We generally decided that jobs would be more spread out this year, and it would be a tighter group. I would like to include any family (on any block!) that wants to be involved and can commit to the work , limiting the number to 10 families. But I guess we didn't really decide this yet.

We all feel that any neighbor who wants to be involved, but cannot be involved in a regular way should feel free to stop by whenever they feel like it, help pull weeds, plant or water, take a cucumber or two, come to the potlucks, in general feel welcomed! This is what a community garden is all about!

So we won't bore you with details anymore. If you feel strongly about bed expansion/no bed expansion, what should be planted/not planted, what the membership requirements should be and who should be welcomed, talk to one of the committee members and we will take your view into account.

See you Sunday!

PS Jennifer Meldrum from the city might buy the corn stalks from us. If she doesn't but them, she offered us a free booth at the market. Anida expressed an interest in manning the booth. I would be interested too. It could be good "retail experience" for the kids. Even if we don't do it this month, we might do it next year - we could make our garden self sufficient - which really appeals to m
