Model Communication to Volunteers

**a*@aol.com**

 Friends,

Please note the date of this communication and the ample lead time volunteers
have. I mean this list of 2006 events has been sent out BEFORE the 2006
calendars are nailed to the gardener's walls.

Hint, Hint Greenthumb?

Regards,
Adam Honigman

Subject: 2006 Schedule for St. John's United Church of Christ Organic
Community Garden and Labyrinth

Hi, Folks!

Here is the 2006 schedule for St. John's United Church of Christ Organic
Community Garden -- do join us for as many events as you can! :-)

Mitchell Program of St. Gabriel's Hall comes to the garden every Wednesday and
Friday (weather permitting) from 3:30 pm to 5:45 pm to learn the fine points
of sustainable agriculture.  They love an audience, so do stop by whenever
your schedule permits!

March 21: Perennial Garden Volunteers meet this Tuesday night and every
Tuesday night through the end of October from 5:30 pm until dark to do
whatever needs done in the garden and labyrinth (and talk a lot! ;-D)!  Dogs
that would enjoy playing with Pepper are welcome!

April 1: Plot registration -- come to the garden between 9 am and noon, sign
the paperwork, then pick your garden plot for the year! No fees, but you must
use only organic techniques and donate at least 10% (the Biblical tithe) to
someone who's trying to make ends meet or an agency such as PACS.

April 29: Spring Work Day from 10 am to 2 pm. Activities range from
low-impact, but necessary weeding to high-energy wood chip hauling. Free lunch
at noon for all volunteers! Groups welcome, so if you're looking for a
community service project for lots of people, this is your event for Spring!

October 28: "Make A Difference Day" Fall Work Day from 10 am to 2 pm.
Activities range from low-impact, but necessary weeding to high-energy wood
chip hauling. Free lunch at noon for all volunteers!  Groups welcome, so if
you're looking for a community service project in the fall, this is your event
for Fall!

E-mail Newsletter: During the gardening season, I send out a biweekly e-mail
update about progress with both the garden and the labyrinth. To receive this
e-mail garden/labyrinth newsletter in 2006, just e-mail me at
alliums@yahoo.com.  Your e-mail is placed under the Bcc: heading so no one can
"harvest" your e-mail address from this mailing.
