Countdown: 4 days

Just when I've gotten you used to a routine...
...it's time to change it up a little bit!!! Go here and donate a "virtual can of food". To do this, put in a name and e-mail address. If you're like me and don't want follow-up in your e-mail uncheck the box that says "Yes! Keep Me Informed!". Then you'll get three options. Click "volunteer." If Idaho gets more virtual cans of food than anyone by March 19, we get a free truckload of food! This is the real deal, people.
Then after you're done helping out the Idaho Foodbank, go to the website. You know, the gardening website. You can get recipes, learn how to start a community garden, and check out the maps and community calendar. http://www.idahofoodbank.org/community_gardens
Go on... you know you wanna...

Calling All Interested Citizens!

What: First Ever Idaho Foodbank Community Gardens Interested Citizens Meeting
When: Dec 9th, 7:30 PM
Where: Idaho Foodbank, 3562 S TK Ave Boise, ID

I know, it's a mouthful. That's right, I've set a date. And seeing as I'll be gone for a few days due to Thanksgiving, I better get the word out now...!
I hope, with this meeting, to start making the public aware that this program exists and to start recruiting volunteers. Even if you have little to no experience in gardening, or even if you don't want to get your hands dirty but would still like to help out somehow, there's something for you to do.
I would also like to open up a part of this meeting to hear people's ideas! This program is brand new, and while I have some set paths I would like to take it's very open to interpretation and new ideas. Let me know where you'd like to see it go! I'm listening with open ears! This program is based and founded on the idea of community, and therefore would be useless without the community's input.
Oh yes, and there will be food. I still have the college mentality: People will only come if there's free food. Maybe that's not a reflection of the real world, but it can't hurt, right? :)
