attached the program guidelines for your review. We are also planning a volunteer appreciation event at the end of the <br />year to help build a sense of community, centered around volunteerism. <br /> <br />The program expenses will be 7 rain barrels @$79 each = $553, plus $100/garden for each participant to use as they <br />choose (mulch, flowers, potting soil, etc.). We have 10 gardens that will be tended, so we could have up to $1000 in <br />expenses (some of the gardens have access to a hose, or existing rain barrels, that’s why we are only buying 7 rain <br />barrels). <br /> <br />While we aren’t targeting a specific demographic, typically, we would expect many of our volunteers to be retirees who <br />have the time to dedicate to such an endeavor. <br /> <br />Let me know if there’s any other info you need in order to figure out if this fits one of your programs. Thanks. <br /> <br />p.s. we are lining up vendors for the Main Street Market, but are still missing an anchor vendor with traditional farmers <br />market produce, etc. I’ve contacted the two right down the road on the south end of town and am hoping at least one <br />of them will participate. <br /> <br />From: Erin N.

This may likely be something SHIP can fund. Can you provide a bit more detail in how this <br />project will unfold, that way I can determine which SHIP strategy area this may fit under? Are the monument gardens <br />mostly flowers/non-edible plants or do they include herbs/vegetables for citizens to pick and consume? What are your <br />thoughts around sustainability and promotion for this project? We could focus on promoting well-being through this <br />project as that’s one of our SHIP strategy areas. How can we promote the well-being component of this to your <br />audience? Lastly, is this focused on a specific population? <br /> <br />I’m curious, how are things going with the farmers market? <br /> <br />I’m happy to chat this through over the phone if you’d prefer too. I think this could be a great well-being opportunity! <br />Thank you! <br />Erin <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Erin Ostrowski <br />Anoka County SHIP Educator <br />Health Education <br />rd <br />2100 3 Avenue, Suite 600 | Anoka, MN 55303 <br />Mobile: 763.204.0643| Fax: 763.324.1033 <br />erin.ostrowski@co.anoka.mn.us <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />
