Paradise 4th Produce a Plenty Project
Update since Sundays meeting

New changes since the meeting Sunday.

We have added some new committees and have coordinators in place...

Blogg committee; Sabrina Whalen. Sabrina will be our Blogg guru and put together a fantastic Blogg that will keep us all informed, motivated and on the same page. will be hearing more from her

Volunteer Coordinator: Dave Hebdon will be the coordinator. Lots of individuals have signed up to be helpers at whatever needs to be done. We are also getting requests from members about gardening needs. Dave and his committee will make sure those pieces get connected. I have suggested that his committee and the YM/YW groups work closely together as many of the requests might turn out to be excellent opportunities for service projects

Coordinated Farmers market with the City, Lions club and paradise wards. Dale Anderson and Floyd Faucette will represent the paradise fourth ward on this committee

Garden mentors and consultants Floyd Faucette has agreed to be a resource for any garden site or individual in the ward. Other mentors who have expressed interest in helping other gardeners include Alan Ohweiler, and Scott Summers. We will create a master list of those who have the ability and desire to help others.

Deep Tilling committee. Justin Summers will connect equipment and operators with those

with needs

Family participation Committee: Kent and Michelle Derricott

Also...there are some changes to the master plan which I have updated in red letters in the master plan post. Thanks for everyone's willingness to help out with this project.
