Our New Cordata Community Garden Storage Shed
|
When our community garden team needed a new storage shed we turned to Darcy Jones of Jones Engineering and Caitac. Darcy suggested we apply for a grant from the Building Industry Association (BIA) . Chris Calverley, a long time gardener submitted a grant application. It was approved . Then, BIA sent volunteer builders and material to erect the shed. Alice Bell and he entire set of gardeners send our thanks to Darcy Jones, the BIA and our own Chris Calverley!
Volunteer Opportunity
Our Cordata Community Garden needs a new Garden Coordinator, 4-6 hours per week through the growing season (until Oct. 31). The volunteer will have a 4'x16' garden bed at no charge. The Volunteer Coordinator will work with gardeners to schedule the work that needs to be done and to generally oversee work parties, tools and supplies. Alice Bell and the garden committee will be on hand to train and help the volunteer coordinator. If you are interested, please call Alice Bell at (360) 220-8955. You will be glad you joined us.

A Report from Carol Dukes
In an effort to encourage further participation in our CNA from Cordata HOAs, the Board has sent out information to our neighborhood HOA Boards. The Festival Condo HOA has expressed interest in receiving our newsletter and encouraging resident participation. The Board Secretary noted that there has been recent concern regarding several car break-ins in their neighborhood; she was referred to Dante Alexander, our community policeman, to insure further follow-up. Working with each other, we are able to share information and resources to continue to make our neighborhood one that we love and care about. If you are an HOA member and would like to have monthly updates about what is happening in our neighborhood, please contact us at………… We would like to hear from you.
