Beginning the Season

This eerily mild winter has kept thoughts of spring planting in front of our minds. When the seed catalogs came out, we began drooling over the organic options. The time of planning is here. 10'x10' plots are available with a security deposit of $10. 4'x4' square foot plots are being planned and should be available by outdoor planting time.

We are transitioning into the new growing season, and, as such, have opened up nominations for new e-board members. Nominees must be active members, and CMU students. Positions are:

-Co-coordinators

-Treasurer

-Fundraising Leader

-Advertising Leader

-Historian

-SGA Representative

At our meeting this week, the idea of a Campus Grow cookbook resurfaced. Recipes are very welcome. Please email them to campusgrow@gmail.com. Photos are welcome. This may morph into a cookbook/garden journal with personal tips, tricks, and stories.

Future events include:

Saturday, February 4 from 9am-1pm. The Friends of the Fabiano Botanical Garden is hosting free and interactive workshops on tree pruning and maple tree tapping. It will be in the CMU Park Library Auditorium. The contact person is Gail Moore (moore1ga@cmich.edu or 989-774-3773).

Sunday, February 5. Superbowl Sunday Fundraiser. The idea here is to gather the cans of football fans celebrating this annual event, exchange the cans, and invest that into the garden. Please bring monetary rewards to the next week's meeting (Thursday 5:30pm in Brooks 203)


Monday, February 6 from 7pm-10pm. RSO Spotlight will be held in the atrium of CMU's University Events Center. The facebook event is: https://www.facebook.com/events/284088338322274/?ref=notif&notif_t=event_invite
