Hi All,
We had a great organizational meeting this past Saturday, after the work part of our day, at Posse East in Austin, Texas.
Our objectives for meeting were to, 1) make sure we keep up our gardens after they are installed, 2) create work teams and team leaders for upcoming permablitzes, 3) plan the August permablitz, and 4) visit Kealing Middle School and begin the design process for the September permablitz.
The most important thing we did during the meeting was to assign leaders to tasks that have to be done before during, and after every permablitz. Here's what we came up with so far. More input and new participation is welcome!
