FAMILY GARDEN/APEX YOUTH CONNECTION
- Rebecca Cote joined the call to tell us about Apex's planned activities
- The kids will do seed starts in the spring and the 9th grade class is working on wood projects
- Their program would dovetail nicely with the Rotary Club's gardening project
- Smaller garden beds can be built at Apex and delivered; for larger beds it may be better to build on site
- We should also consider whether families have space for larger beds (make different sizes available)
- The club may also wish to partner with Holly Culloton from the community garden program for maintenance assistance
- Ken will set something up (get feedback and report back to group)
- Rebecca offered to put together a preliminary timeline to have project up and running by spring, to be discussed at next meeting
- The subcommittee will possibly work on an educational event with Apex - if COVID allows
GIFT CARDS
- Jim Godbout donates Hannaford gift cards to those who don't feel comfortable asking for help or going to the food pantry
- He could use some assistance this year - his budget is usually $1,000 - $1,500
- Ken and Brian propose $500 to Jim for gift certificates and there are no objections
Next meeting 1pm Dec 9.
Thank you,
