It's been a busy summer since we had our open house in the spring, and lots of things have happened. We are in the midst of grant writing, fundraising, spreading the word about CGC and getting ready to build the first garden at Hamlin School this fall!
The Community Garden Collective will be at the Art In the Park event this Saturday August 13th. We will be under a tent at a table near the "Officials" so please drop by! We will have a supply of Clynk bags for you to take home, fill with your returnable cans and bottles and take to Hannaford. The barcode on the bag will give CGC credit for your returnables, a great way for us to continually raise funds!

If you would like some bags NOW I can drop them off at your house. Just email me at this address with how many you would like and your address and I will arrange for you to get a few.

Bayside Bowling Fundraiser
On Monday, August 1 we had our fundraiser at Bayside Bowling in Portland. The event had light attendance, but the lanes were busy with league members. We will know by next week how much money will be donated to CGC by Bayside Bowling. When you want to spend a night out doing something fun support the businesses who support CGC, Bayside Bowling is a lot of fun and they have great food! Thanks to those who attended!
Garden Building and More!
We will need help this fall building the garden beds and preparing the garden! Please keep updated through Facebook and our emails for opportunities to help! We have a very motivated group of supporters and we look forward to working with you even more!
Please contact the group with any questions at this email. If you want to reach a specific board member please indicate their name in the email and it will be forwarded to them.
Thank you!
Crystal
