Member Update for June 16, 2015

Hello members! What a growing season so far! Between a late frost, lots of rain, and even some furry pests, it's been quite the tumultuous time at the Community Garden.

You may have noticed some vacant beds this year. In particular, beds 39, 40, 41 and 20 need to be weeded. Please help out in the maintenance of the garden by weeding one of these vacant beds if you get a chance. There are still new memberships trickling in so every little bit we can do to make these beds still usable by any latecomers will be appreciated, plus, it makes the garden look so nice. How great does it look after the Arc mows? They do a great job, thanks Arc friends!

More wood chips and cardboard will be at the Garden by the end of this week for your mulching pleasure. Remember to mulch around your bed and anywhere you see weeds growing through previous layers of mulch. Put down some cardboard and then mulch on top of it--it's so easy a kid could do it and it makes a big difference in the appearance of the garden.

Changes are afoot for the garden: please see below for information about the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Membership.



Your Board of Directors is planning an annual meeting of the membership. This would be the voting meeting as required in our bylaws. We would like to hold the meeting on Saturday, August 15th at Milly's Pantry from 12 noon to 2pm.   We will be holding elections for a new president , secretary and treasurer.

This meeting will be a casual potluck (featuring fresh garden produce--what will you make from your garden?) and social hour, followed by a voting for the positions that are available on our Board of Directors.
