[Grovenet] spring and COMMUNITY GARDEN

[Walt Wentz]

Planning for the forest Grove Community Garden proceeds!
I will be giving a short report to the City Council at the council  
meeting tonight (7 p.m. at the City Auditorium).
Everyone interested is invited to an Organizational Meeting this  
Thursday, March 12, at 7 p.m. at my house, 1817 17th Avenue, to share  
information, volunteer a steering committee and assign tasks. We  
intend to get the garden ready in time for the planting season!
