[Green] Fwd: Seed Sowing--Middle Island: Monday 10AM-Noon; Tuesday 1-3PM; Wednesday 3PM-5PM

[George Banziger]

Thanks, Vic.  This is a great start.

I'll be drafting another message wit the same sentiments. It's
important to have many people sending a message about this matter, but
the wording needs to be a bit different so that  it does not look like
we copied/pasted from the same message.

>> Contact me if you have any questions.  Bring a rake if you have one (sturdy rake--not a leaf rake).
