ACGA orgs eligible 4 donated computers

T* K*

Ellen Kirby and ACGA Board members,

Since I haven't heard that anyone else has submitted a request to Gateway 
for receipt of an Olympic computer, I took the liberty of registering 
American Community Gardening Association. When we get a paid staff, there 
will be a need for a computer, n'est pas?

The url below can be used by ACGA member organizations to sign up for their 
own computer(s) being given away by Gateway. There are approximately 4,000 
computers previously used at the Olympics in Salt Lake that Gateway is going 
to donate to organizations conducting technological and educational services 
in their communities, on behalf of environmental issues, and other pursuits 
that most community gardening organizations can fall into a catagory of. I 
would recommend as many ACGA member organizations sign up for this computer 
give-away, so we can have some good networking tools during the 361 days a 
year we're not sharing our programs at the Annual Conference.

Incidently, I signed my name and email address as contact for the computer 
request, providing the ACGA mailing address of 100 N. 20th St., 5th Floor, 
Phila, PA, 19103-1495, and tel: 215-988-8785

More Gardens!
Tom Kerr, Chair
ACGA Development Committee

Gateway is donating up to 4,500 computers that were used in the Winter
Olympic Games to non-profit organizations. Donations will be made sometime 
in April 2002, but you need to register.
