GSIPM

The Institute’s student-led organic garden, Our Green Thumb, has been selected by the Monterey County Weekly to be featured in their readers’ challenge.  The challenge encourages readers to support local organizations and have their contributions matched by the Weekly – up to a total of $100,000.

In this week’s issue, you will find a form listing eligible projects.  Select OGT and complete the form, including your contribution, by December 31, 2009 and the Weekly’s Community Fund will match your contribution.  Funds for OGT will support an array of enhancements (organic seeds and plant starts, equipment to expand composting, outdoor classroom materials including an outdoor marker board) and activities for the campus community and beyond.

You can pick up your copy of the Weekly at the kiosk next to the Segal Building or by Casa Fuente on Pacific Street.  Additionally, copies will be available in Institutional Advancement (McGowan 300).
