<p>Hey all,</p><p>I'd actually like to get the ball rolling on this and have *gasp* more than one meeting this term. I just feel that if we delay on this too long, things won't actually get done. There are some things especially (like a budget) that would likely benefit from having a bit of long-term planning in place? </p>
<p>Let's start with the first meeting of the term on Monday Feb. 23 at 7:00 pm. Unless there are strong objections?<br></p><p>Tentative agenda:</p><p>1. Introductions</p><p>All of the following points will need two-ish people to take on the coordination of:</p>
<p>2. How, where and when to recruit new members</p><p>3. Budget: Where to get money for seeds and other purchases</p><p>4. What seeds we need to reorder (we should get on this)<br></p><p>5. Do we want to get stuff for a fence?<br>
<br>6. When to hold the planting party (if we are having one). <br></p><p> 7. Finding foster parents for the seedlings we grow. </p><p>8. Compost from the city, compost runs from food services</p><p>9. Deciding when gardening times will be, having official volunteer greeters to ensure people feel welcome at the garden<br>
</p><p>Given that this looks like a long agenda, I say that we set the priorities at the first meeting as to what we most urgently need to talk about, and leave some of the less urgent/important points until the next meeting. If somebody wants to take on advertising a social garden meeting for our second meeting of the term, that would be a great way to bring in new members.<br>
</p><p>Just my thoughts, do feel free to add!</p><p>Alicia<br></p><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 10:56 AM, Paul Nijjar <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:paul_nijjar@yahoo.ca">paul_nijjar@yahoo.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Given that Greg is a primary foster parent and that he wants to come<br>
to the meeting is there interest in rescheduling?<br>
