SHCG meeting on 11/13

At the SHCG meeting on 11/13, we:

1. went over the grant for the Columbus Foundation I submitted to make changes for next year's submission
2. showed the grant I submitted to Aveeno
3. we went over the community garden proposal and lease agreement from Columbus Parks and Rec-have questions on including a structure in the garden plan, but they said that we can explain why we want it in our garden design and go from there
4. decided on a design of the garden to submit to Columbus Parks and Rec (Sue will have her friend digitize and beautify it)

I have three possible grants for funding that I need help writing. We have a chance for some serious monetary support if we get these done. Would you contact me if you can help?

Email about Logo Idea

To my cousin, the artist:
Hi, Kate! When are we going to have tea?! Also I need some help. I need to make a super simple logo and letter head for the community garden I am creating in my 'hood. I talked to the graphic designers at work and they said i need a "vector file" and to save it in "eps." This is all gobbletie gook to me. Can you help me with this?

From my cousin:
lol, hi
happy to help. Pick a couple things you like from the internet and I'll find something or make it in Illustrator (vector). I'll call you soon,
Kate

Email about Tour and Meeting

Hi, All!

We had a nice tour this weekend and gathered lots of good ideas. Check out the blog for some images. Sue and I seem to be the only ones able to meet on Tuesday, so we have rescheduled for Thursday at 7 pm. We are doing this partly because there is a fantastic speaker coming to Columbus that evening. I have attached the flyer for you to look over to see if you would like to go, too. Please let me know if you would like to carpool. I got caught up in yard work today, so I apologize for the late notice of this email. I hope people can come to the meeting on Thursday.

The agenda will be:
1. going over the grant for the Columbus Foundation to make changes for next year
2. going over the community garden proposal and lease agreement from Columbus Parks and Rec
3. drawing a design of the garden to submit to Columbus Parks and Rec.
4. designating roles for the garden planning (photographer, PR, blogger, treasurer, etc)
5. any additional items

Thanks,
Amy
