[Community_garden] Cancellation of New Orleans Conference

[Jack Hale]

I'm sorry to hear about the conference cancellation.  Was really looking
forward to seeing everyone down there.
Perhaps this is the year of sticking close to home and recognizing
community gardens as the epitome of local agriculture.  This could be a
boost for our local alliances.
For those from the Northeast, consider the Connecticut Community
Gardening Conference coming up on April 12.  Go the CCGA website for
details (http://ctcommunitygardening.org/).

Subject: [Community_garden] Cancellation of New Orleans Conference

Hello all,
I am sorry to have to announce that the ACGA will not be able to have
its annual convention this October in New Orleans.  There are many
reasons why we have had to make this decision. To do a proper job, to
have a proper conference, we would need to be well-resourced. This and
the time crunch we were under made this difficult decision necessary to
take. Any funds collected in the name of this venture will be forwarded
to New Orleans community garden organizations or returned.
