First Meeting Draws Near

As of noon, today Thursday, Feb. 19, we have a total of 26 people who said they will be attending our first organizing meeting. This is awesome! There are a total of 18 households who form this first initial burst of excitement. Let's keep it going!! We would have more people there Saturday, but 2 of the households can't make it -- this time.

Below is my proposed Agenda for this first meeting. I feel it is always good for people to know what sort of direction such meetings are headed, before you show up. This way you can be better prepared and know what is likely to be discussed or decided.

I hope the below is something that energizes you, and helps get our community garden going!

* Introductions
* Short stories of personal gardening experiences: Good, Bad or Ugly
* A description of overall plan at this stage: Role of Sonlight, Role of the Community
* Expressions of “What you dream this could be?”
* How do we take things from here?
* Do we need an organizing group or committee?
* What sort of things do we need to consider while forming this garden?
* How about a name?
* What have I missed that you want to talk about?
* Fill out the “Sign me up…”
* Next meeting
* Let’s go look at the land!

See you Saturday. This is going to be fun!
