Announcements for June 11th

We will be kicking off our 2008 season on WEDNESDAY, June 11th! If
you have a full share or are on an A week schedule, please don't
forget to come pick up your first share of the season between 4 - 7:30
pm at the northeast corner of Fort Greene Park. If you are unsure of
whether you are on an A or B week schedule, please contact me ASAP!

These first shares will include (drumroll, please) lettuce, cilantro,
swiss chard, collard greens, beets, spinach, and kohlrabi. If you can
arrive at the site between 4-6 pm, you will be able to check out a
kohlrabi cooking demonstration by one of Just Food's community chefs.
We will also be distributing recipes and notes on the vegetables in
our shares this week. Fruit shares will most likely be rhubarb and
bottled juice.

A few other quick announcements:

- Please bring bags to distribution to bring home your produce. We
will have a few plastic bags at the site, but it would be best if
everyone got into the habit of bringing their own bags.

- We have secured an egg share for the 2008 season! It will begin on
July 2nd, and you must sign up by June 20th to receive eggs.
Applications with more information about these additional items will
be available at the distribution site for the next two weeks, but I
would also be happy to email the form to you.

- We still have space for one more volunteer on the early shift (3:30
- 6 pm) on June 11. It will be an exciting shift to work with lots of
fun things going on, so if you would like to come help us out, please
let me know!

- PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO MAKE YOUR PAYMENTS. Unless you have already
paid in full for your share, you probably owe a payment by June 15.
Bringing cash or a check to distribution will be a nice, easy way to
fulfill that. We will have receipts on hand at the site. If you have
any questions about how much you owe, please get in touch with me.
