Semester's End

Hey all,

The semester and the school year are coming to a close. This Thursday will be probably be our last formal meeting day in the garden and we'll be composting, maybe planting, and generally taking a break from studying. Come out and join us! Also, a huge thank you to everyone who came out and supported us on EARTH DAY. We sold a ton of t-shirts which will totally boost our publicity and the film screening was fun albeit a little bit depressing for me. I was able to hold on to the dvd so if anyone is interested in watching it again or for the first time let me know and you can borrow it. We'll be watching it again informally in Erdman at 7.30 this Thursday.

IMPORTANT: Thursday morning at 9.30 am in the Green Bean we are having a meeting for the leadership of FEAST. For everyone who is currently on the executive board who wants to continue in a leadership role, either be there or let me know if you have a conflict and we can figure out a time that I can fill you in over the weekend. We will be primarily discussing the internal structure of the club, clearly defining individual roles and responsibilities, discussing the expansion of the garden to our new site and outlining a plan for next semester. Please come with ideas and a clear view of any roles that you would like to take on especially if you are interested in heading one of our main improvement projects for the garden, which include working with the Marketplace to get our produce served, installing a drip irrigation system, getting a shed and a small greenhouse for the garden. BE THERE!

Next week Elissa will be leading a strawberry picking and jam making expedition so if you are done with finals early and would like to participate email back and let us know. It will be an awesomely fun time with delicious fruit!

I hope all of you are doing well and GOOD LUCK on your work and finishing out the semester! I know it's hard to find time but the Thursday morning meeting is incredibly important for the future of the club so try your best to make it!
