Most Rewarding Garden Deal of 2009!

Pineridge Boys and Girls club is looking for enthusiastic vegetable gardeners with a great sense of fun who would appreciate a free garden plot in exchange for spending time after school with youth curious to know how to grow food. In your free garden plot you can grow food for yourself and food to donate for snacks at the Pineridge Boys and Girls club. You will be asked to advise regarding replacing the soil in the garden plots but labour will be provided to do the work. Tools and water access are available to you. You will need to obtain a police record check and be a good fit with the organizational goals of the Boys and Girls Club.

For details contact Alexandra, Pineridge Club Program Coordinator at 403-543-9678

Grant application approved!!

Hi everyone,

I just got a call from Julie Black from the Calgary Foundation and our grant application has been approved! Yay!!! They have approved $4,500 for fence materials and plot materials and $500 for refreshments for volunteers during building days for the fence and plots.

She will be sending out a on-page grant agreement for the church to sign - Jeanette, it will be coming to you - and if we get it back to them quickly, we can have the funds by mid to end of June. Everythings coming together nicely. :o)

Request for Mulch

I put in a request to Maggie yesterday for the mulch for our various community beds. They do need topping up. I also told them I would need to be contacted for delivery because I need to be there to make sure they put the mulch somewhere far enough away from the church.
