[Green] Harmar Days report

[Cindy Taylor]

I ditto George's and everyone else's comments.   What a wonderful outreach
for FUUSM too and hope we'll be able to keep community members involved.
Wish I could have been there to join you, but was there in spirit.   Thanks
everyone for this wonderful "blooming" project- so inspiring to see the
diverse group of people benefiting and getting inspired about what they can
also do.
Thanks so very much Rebecca and all who have helped.
