> 
> April 2: George on early-season sowing 
> April 9: Rebecca on gardening for pollinators
> April 16: Easter, so no RE
> April 23: Dave on climate science [Followed by the service in which Gene Berry will talk about water]
> April 30: Dave on working with local governments

And I would LOVE the GSC to be local water watchdogs. Since Dave has offered to talk about solar energy this summer (downstairs, where AV presentations are easier to see), at least we’ve got that one proposed topic covered.

If we can get that ball rolling more than 2 inches at a time, it would be a great place to include information we collect on the topics we proposed for RE.
