Update on Funding for 2011

     The last couple of months we have been busy trying to get funding for the garden for 2011. Here is an update as to how this is coming along.
     The Environmental Action Committee has donated $200 towards our Composting workshop on April 16th.
     Also, the Integris Credit Union will be presenting us with a cheque of $1000 for the garden in March, as soon as the weather is nice enough to take a picture at the garden.
     A big THANK YOU to our sponsors and supporters. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
