Let us know if we can pick some ripe produce from your plot Friday evening that we can sell at Dundee Day.
DUNDEE DAY PARADE SAT. AUG. 28 at 10 a.m. We'd love a crowd to march with us in the parade! Bring yourself and any extra family members you can corral. We need people to carry our paper-mache carrot, our banner, etc. We'll be meeting in the Brownell-Talbot parking lot off Underwood Ave. at 10 a.m. The parade starts at 10:30. Apparel: wear a Dundee Community Garden t-shirt, or anything that suggests gardening, or be creative and dress up like a vegetable! (Note: if you want to purchase a DCG t-shirt for $15 to wear in the parade, contact Eric at mrerlo@gmail.com). Come march with us-- the more the merrier!
EXTRA PRODUCE If you have extra produce, or cutting flowers, that you'd be willing to donate to out Dundee Day booth, please drop them off on Saturday at the booth. Or you can bring them to the harvest night Friday evening Aug. 27.

Our next board meeting, open to all members, is Tues. Aug. 24, 7 p.m. at Dundee Presbyterian. We're usually in the basement dining room. We'll be making signs for the table on Saturday as well as finalizing plans for the booth, etc.
VOLUNTEER HOURS:
Just a reminder that we're expecting each plot owner to contribute 8 hours towards working in the garden on the community plots. We'll be posting a chart soon to track volunteer hours at the garden. If you have volunteered some hours that have not been recorded in the red volunteer notebook, shoot me an e-mail at megreen4@cox.net to let me know how much time you've contributed.
