It would be good to have an official connection with VGI, or rather it is needed, but Concordia Gardens IS a TM project. I asked for it to be at Sept meeting and it was apporved. it has has been run until now totally be TM members and I am hoping TW will help the project. anyway CG is a TM supported project and The fruity nutty affair IS going to benefit the garden.

Dear Steering Committee members or whoever is reading this :)

I am going to put together the 'newsletter' from the last Hub meeting next week. If you have things that you would like included please email me. Each subject should be 3-4 phrases and less than 100 words. If you would like me to include your contact information please let me know that as well. I will need this information by next week Wednesday November 2 at 5:00 pm.

Thanks!
Natalie

Please provide for the newsletter.  I am going to email our presenters and get a short paragraph from them to include.

As far as VGI event, no we are not 'official' sponsors, but we haven't done anything for that status or tried to be.  I think that their mission is truly one that we should support and a lot of their leadership is shared with transition.

Is this a TM sponsored event?  Has VGI approached anyone in TM asking for support? Why does this qualify as an event worthy of recommending over other local events?

Also - on the newsletter - I can provide a list of other things that can be mentioned.  I have written it down as a to-do and will start a discussion in the next few days to add to the list.

Hello all: Wondering if we can give more visibility to the Fruity Nutty event? considering if i am going to send a 'newsletter' / summary of hub meeting on the ning site in the next week or so we don't want to overkill with the emails, but this is kind of important. What do you think?
