Volunteer Needed
A new opportunity to help. One of our members has arranged for us to pick up some of the food waste from Central Market on North Lamar. "We could start picking up from the kitchen/coffee bar area. This would entail picking up 5 gallon buckets of compostables (I think It would be about 4 per day to start with). Most of this would be coffee grounds, and cut fruits left over from the previous day...Pickup would need to be around 9, by 10 at the latest."
If you are interested, it seems like this opportunity is available most days. Our compost will thank you. Please contact Janet Adams at jartdaht@gmail.com
Annual Holiday Party - Save the Date!
When: December 3rd, 5:00 PM
Come meet your fellow gardeners, eat delicious food, win door prizes, share your love of gardening and have a wonderful time at Sunshine's Annual Holiday Party and very short meeting.
If you want to help with the festivities, please contact Ila.falvey@gmail.com.
Reminder: Deadline for Fall Season Service Hours Is 12/31.
The deadline for completing and recording fall season service hours is December 31. A review of the Green Binder database shows, as of 11/15, gardeners still needed to complete and/or record 1000 service hours by December 31. Gardeners can check both their required hours and how many worked in the Green Binder on the Sunshine Gardens website. There will be workdays in November and December to facilitate gardeners completing their fall service hours - both regular and TSBVI hours.
- Saturday 11/19 morning or early afternoon - Contact Ila if interested at Ila.falvey@gmail.com
- Sunday 11/20 morning or early afternoon - Contact Ila if interested at Ila.falvey@gmail.com
- November - Saturday 11/26 Time TBD
