Tina feel free to email me with any questions.

Thank you so much! I have read a lot of the posts on
this forum. We had initially thought we might try to
advertise, but that seems to be a questionable idea.
Peggy (my coworker) and I are spreading word of mouth
to people we already know who are interested in
gardening. The only public information we have posted
has been on this forum. Do you have any other
recommendations? We obviously don't want to recreate
a lot of the problems I read that were experienced
during the recent swap. I had mentioned to her about
the possibility of pre-registering participants. Do
you think that will be necessary or beneficial for our
first outing? We know we obviously need a place, and
to try to find the best method of reaching people who
are seriously interested in gardening. I thought that
maybe a small notice in a local paper would be ok. I
work part time at WHIN radio in Gallatin, and we could
run public service announcements free on the station.
We will need a few office supplies, (name tags, pen,
paper, etc.). Other than these things, unfortunately,
I really haven't a clue. Thank you so much for
letting me pick your brain. LOL. I don't wanna take
up too much of your time, but your input is greatly
appreciated. Please advise whatever you feel is
appropriate. I'm sure there are quite a few things we
haven't even taken into consideration. We may not be
able to get sufficiently organized for our first swap
till the fall, but I'd like to get started asap.

Thanks again!

Tina

I got some great advice in an email from big_orange_vol. I've talked to the other people that we have involved at my workplace and we've decided that we'd like to start small. We're aiming for a swap in the fall. We are going to have a swap only at first and omit the guest speaker and potluck for now. If anybody would like to participate, please email me at swtposey@yahoo.com or use my work email, Tina_L_Perdue@irco.com. We will post more follow ups as we have information to share. Thanks!
