Sorry we missed you at the last meeting of the Crenshaw Community Garden!
The next meeting is on January 10th at 10am. This meeting is mandatory if you want to continue gardening in 2009.
The January meeting will begin with the election of new officers. We will be distributing new plots (there seem to be about four) and collecting contracts and dues from gardeners.
All gardeners must come with their signed contract, a $35 check made out to The Crenshaw Community Garden and $5 cash for new keys.
The 2009 contract includes info on our new policies on structures (no structure may be taller than 4 feet.) and meeting attendance (all gardeners must attend at least 6 meetings in a calendar year.)
Thank you all and I look forward to seeing you then!
