 Calls being made to gardeners to determine renewal status and who might be willing to <br />share their 12’ x 8’ garden bed. That way we could accommodate more than the 14 that <br />garden expansion will provide for. <br /> Plans for Zoom call with 20 gardeners. Ms. Scharfenberg has contacted Terrie Cook about <br />Virginia’s plan to set up two Zoom meeting dates for current gardeners, using her personal <br />account, for the purpose of gardeners’ introductions, sharing ideas about education, garden <br />activities, volunteer schedule for overall garden upkeep, etc. (This would not be a MCGAC <br />Board meeting requiring public notification.) <br />NEW BUSINESS: <br /> Replacement Board member suggestions to complete Bill Nay’s term of office through June <br />30, 2023. Ms. Scharfenberg will send an email to all the gardeners informing them of the open <br />board member position. She asked Board members to recommend a specific person if they <br />had one in mind. A decision on who we would like to submit as applicant for Mr. Nay’s <br />remaining term will be made at the February Board meeting. <br /> Review of Rules and Regulations, including plan to ensure/enforce gardeners’ volunteer <br />time and tasks. Start list of proposed schedule/content. The board members will email Ms. <br />Scharfenberg with ideas of what to include in communication with gardeners prior to Zoom <br />call: <br />(1) e.g., weeding and maintenance of areas around each person’s garden bed, the native <br />planting area at split rail fence adjacent to parking area, compost management, general <br />grounds upkeep <br />(2) Educational programming ideas <br />(3) Gardener social gathering together ideas <br />(4) Disposal needs other than what is specifically compostable <br />(5) Other <br /> Ideas for 2022 educational programming and materials for gardeners (composting, extreme <br />weather impacts, gardener sharing of garden tips/plants they recommend trying/etc.). <br />Discuss schedule and content for bi-weekly (or other) communication to start late January <br />or early February in conjunction with potential Zoom call with 20 gardeners. Board members <br />discussed the possibility of Lynn Harris hosting some in person and Zoom info sessions about <br />the proper use and maintenance of the compost bins. Board members were asked to email <br />other programming ideas to Ms. Scharfenberg. <br /> Participation/co-sponsorship potential for the Mobile Farmers Market at a location in <br />Mashpee. Ms. Scharfenberg presented the idea of participating in a Mobile Farmers Market <br />being planned for 2022. It is in the initial planning stages now and Ms. Scharfenberg has <br />spoken with Andrea Marczely, Food Access Coordinator at Barnstable County Extension and <br />organizer of the Mobile Market, to see if she can join us at our next Board meeting to discuss <br />more. Ms. Carberry said at some point we may be able to contribute produce to the market. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
