Notes:
- Community Check-ins
- @syd is feeling excited about Morris Pride coming up!
- Garrett’s birthday is today! He is looking forward to going fishing and spending more time with plants.
- @Nic_McPhee is officially on phased retirement (weird!) and was excited about his trip to the National Quilt Museum
- @Susan_Gilbert wanted to share about the postcard campaign that is The Majority Project
- Joel is one year out from hurting his back, he is excited and nervous about the busyness of the summer. If folks are interested, Morris Theatre is starting up Tuesday volunteer nights! Contact David Ericksen if you are interested!
- Matty is busy being Syd’s partner, gardening, and practicing a busy/rest balance.
- @cberthiaume is thinking about how the 40 hour work week SUCKS.
- Dan shared about his mexican sunflowers from his friend Mike in Alexandria, and how is a part of Friends of the Boundary Waters.
- Vern suggested the reading “Another Now” a speculative fiction by a Greek Finance Minister.
- Announcements
- Community Gardening Hours: Saturdays 10am-12pm
- PDT River Association Community Paddle on July 19th! See Sophia’s WCMNCN email for more details.
- The WCROC received the grant funding for the storage container hydroponics grant! It is likely we will be working with them closer in the future on this to help spread the word and increase community interest in this type of food growing.
- It would be a good idea to write up some language for WCMNCN/WCROC shipping container partnership. We should invite Eric to do that with us!
- Farmer’s Market Planning (Thursdays 3-6PM @ Morris Public Library until October)
- We want our table be a resource for folks attending the market. A spot they can hang out, learn things, share things, and not have to spend money (although spending money at the market is good!)
- Each week the people who are signed up can get the table and bag out of the Morris Public Library Community Room closet, set up at our designated location (found on this map), and write on the paper some upcoming events, a question of the week, and other resources they would like to share.
- If you have a topic in particular that you would like to table about, you can do that too!
- We will reach out to other community organizations and friends to see if they would like to borrow our table and share their resources:
- Tree Board
- Humane Society
- Land Stewardship Project
- Friends of the Theatre
- Emily Moore - WCROC
- Friends of the Boundary Waters (Dan)
- PDTRA (Sophia)
- Talitha Anderson - Morris Model
- You can sign up for Farmers Market tabling at this document.
- Determine Next Meeting/Other Summer Plans
- Next meeting will be on the SECOND Saturday of July. Saturday, July 12th at 10:30am, location will be determined once the 10 day weather forecast is out!
