Thanks to all that attended the meeting.  A lot was covered. See attached for a full copy of the minutes.  The major points of discussion were:

1. We have 20 new requests for beds and only 3 non-renewals. Options are adding a couple of beds in the center area; re-allocating the herb and flower beds around the seating area; reducing the charity beds.  No decisions made at this time
2. Improving communication with members and between garden angels and bed owners during the summer.  We are working on the communal e-mail list and having a notebook in the tool shed might solve these issues.
3. Nicole has come up with 3 signs for the compost bins for explaining the composting procedure.  Joan has compiled a list of things to not put in the compost (see attached)
4. Betty Jean has stepped up and taken responsibility for the social committee.  If anyone would like to get involved, please contact her.
5. It was decided that there should be a meeting every month, on the fourth Tuesday, except for December, where that is Christmas day.  We are tentatively scheduled for December 11th.

A list of agenda items for the next meeting will be posted shortly.
