[Garden] Planting Party

[Evan Coole]

Alicia and all,

In order to access the funding for a social, you need to make a group 
decisions at a meeting as to how it's spent and then fill out a form. 
If you want to proceed with this, let me know and I'll get you set up 
with the forms and go over the procedure.

Cheers,
Evan
