Living Edge garden plots
Barb updated on the two garden plots that are designated for Living Edge. Barb delivers food every Friday morning and, if you have any extra food in your garden, you can leave it by the Living Edge plots for Barb to take.
Financial Statements
The financial statements were reviewed and accepted. Barb advised we have not received the water bill yet so that will reduce our numbers quite a bit.

Barb updated that we will be having mason bees delivered in the spring and they will be picked up in the fall.
