The pollinator habitat table at Harmar Days seems to have been a success. </div>

<li><span>We gave out all 150 seed packets (and could have given more--at least two people asked after we ran out) and an equal number of handouts. One Columbus-area resident is distributing our information sheet and seed packet to several neighbors for a possible
Homegrown National Park neighborhood there.</span></li><li><span>We added fifteen names to the list of possible volunteers for the fall planting push. Two of these names are people associated with Veritas Academy (a student and the wife of a philosophy instructor), something I did not expect. </span></li><li><span>Two women from Tyler County left their names and are interested in the possibility of municipal pollinator plantings in Friendly.</span></li><li><span>There were four "official" guided walks, and several visitors to the table mentioned walking the site and reading the signs on their own.</span></li><li><span>A manager at the Marathon Petroleum truck site on Route 7 has asked for a consultation on an area the company intends to designate as a pollinator sanctuary. He also mentioned the possibility of grant money but will need to look into whether a church
is the kind of nonprofit that can apply.</span></li></ul>
<div><span>A big "thank-you" to our volunteers Dave and Shari Ballantyne, George Banziger, Andrew Clovis, and Claire Mullen.<br>
