Coalition for a Green Glendale News Flash!

Dear Supporters,

I hope you are doing well. The Coalition for a Green Glendale has been making strides in greening our city and we just want to keep you up to date with what we're working on currently.

1. The Coalition for a Green Glendale is working hard to help support the Neighborhood Services, Kiwanis Club, and the Steering Committee at the Monterey Road Eco Community Garden to build a 2nd community garden in Glendale - named Eco Community Garden - West! This new garden will break ground this weekend, on Saturday May 22nd at 9 a.m. and we could use your help! **Especially those who helped with Monterey Road East** If you plan to come, please let me know - and tools would be very helpful as well - shovels, rakes, gloves, wheel barrows. Call or reply to my email if you have any questions - we hope to see you there! Event location 824 Monterey Road, 91206.

2. Whole Foods has been generous enough to hold a fundraiser for the Coalition for a Green Glendale in order to help out with the funding for both of these gardens. From now until July 4th, Whole Foods Glendale will have a "Recycle Your Change" bin at the end of every cash register where you can toss your loose change in for a good cause. 100% of the proceeds go to us! See the attached pdf for more details, thanks so much for your support!

3. The Monterey Road Eco Community Garden (East) Steering Committee will be administering Garden West. We are currently refreshing our waiting list and encourage anyone who is interested in gardening to sign up and let us know if you want to join. Please provide us with the following information in a replied email to me...
