| Help Our Garden & Youth Grow - Round Three!!! |
Dear Community Organizations and Members,
A big "THANK YOU!" to everyone who helped The Blue Frog, our youth volunteer led café, get through to Round Three of the Aviva Community Fund Competition! But now we need YOUR HELP more than ever to make our dream a reality! With YOUR VOTE you can help us create a FRESH FOOD GARDEN where young people will come together to plant, grow, and harvest vegetables and herbs that are not available locally. The bounty of the garden will then be used at The Blue Frog to prepare fresh, nutritious, and inexpensive menu items with any surplus produce donated to local community initiatives. Here is how you can help: PLEASE VOTE EVERY DAY for our idea at: http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf11324
(Quick Tip: We found the easiest way to vote is to use your Facebook Account to register!) SHARE THIS EMAIL with your professional networks, friends, and family (Quick Tip: This is a national competition - so even your Aunt Maggie from Nova Scotia can vote for this idea!)
