Thanks, George! I was planning on donating my honorarium from Saturday's wedding to FUUSM--may just use it for incidentals and more plants for this project. </div>

What shop would you recommend for a sign and frame? We also have a small sign highlighting native plants that Cindy Brown donated; I need to get a frame for it as well.</div>

up a subcommittee to plan further work on the site, I would be most grateful. As the site expands, it will benefit from a planning team.<br>
