DCG Needs Treasurer

Dear Dundee Community Gardeners and Friends,

Thank you to Rose Edzie for volunteering to be our new membership chair.

We are still looking for a new treasurer.   If you are interested, please contact us!  Or if you know of someone who might be willing to take on this task, please pass along their name so we can contact them.  We really need a new treasurer in place before we start collecting membership dues in 2012.

Treasurer Position:  pay bills including annual insurance and reimbursements for garden supplies.  Prepare basic budget for board meetings showing monthly income and expenses.  Annual budget is under $2,500. 

As mentioned before, we are working on getting our NE non-profit status, and would also like to get 501(c)3 tax exempt status, with a long-term goal of buying the property.

Additionally, if you know of someone who might be willing to offer pro bono legal assistance in helping us with the federal non-profit filing,  please let us know that as well.  

Thank you,

DCG Board

Volunteers Needed for Yates Community Garden Build

Hello Dundee Community Garden members and friends,
 
 
I invite you to join in helping Omaha's newest mid-town community garden get it's winter jump-start for spring!  This new garden will be at the Yates Community Center for refugees and immigrants, at 3260 Davenport St. 

This Saturday, DECEMBER 10, we will be assembling and situating 19 garden beds. We would LOVE volunteers and friends from the Dundee Community Garden assist with this project and help the work go faster. There will be two shifts: 8 am - 12 at Lowes, 76th and Dodge, to construct the raised beds, and 12 pm - 3 at Yates, 3620 Davenport, to situate the beds and fill with soil.
 
 
Volunteer for one or both shifts!  FYI, we'll have hot beverages and snacks for everyone and expect the building to be open for periodic warming rests.
 
 
 
 
Thanks for helping make Omaha a welcoming place for the newest members of our community!
