Until We Meet Again
Wonderful community gardeners, it is with mixed emotions that I write to tell you that my family is relocating to the Triangle area. Thus, I am stepping down from the Community Gardening Coordinator position at the end of this month. I have greatly enjoyed working with and getting to know you over the past year and a half. Your efforts to grow food and strengthen your communities are truly inspiring.
A new Coordinator will be hired in the coming weeks, so keep an eye on your inbox! She or he will be the next voice that you hear from in this newsletter.
If you have any questions or concerns about this transition, please get in touch with me or Extension Director Mark Tucker at (336) 703-2851.
Of course, I am not gone yet so please come by for a visit! I am here to help and would love to see you before I leave.
Thanks for all you do to help our community grow!
