The
deadline
closes
October,
15,
I,
15
or
16.,
and
last
year
I
applied
my
Metro
I
have
a
project
called
pepper
project
which
is
working
in
the
garden
with
Children
and
Youth.
We
apply
I
applied
last
year
that
we
didn't
get
it
because
we
didn't
make
the
requirements
which
the
main
requirement
was
to
have
the
50123.
Now
we
have
it
now
we're
going
to
request
approval
to
apply.
F
G
Philanthropic
information,
now
what
I
think
like
I
think
honestly
that
they
didn't
make
your
requirements
and
also
the
computer
and
new
organization?
They
don't
know
us
yet
so
my
second
line
here
is
can,
if
someone
from
the
world-
or
you
know
someone
from
the
lbb
that
they
want
to
come
and
see
your
work,
come
to
the
garden
and
see
what
you
do.

B

G

Now
it's
lovely:
this
is
the
time
of
the
YouTube
people.
Slowly
comes
back
to
the
Garden.
This
is
actually
the
our
system
is
like
the
school's
calendar.
People
go
back
to
school,
then
they'll
start
coming
to
the
Garden
to
remain.
Enjoy
them.
I
think
that's
that
space
room
June
to
August
very,
very
difficult.

She
sent
us
an
email.
Oh
my.
She
sent
us
an
email
requesting
possible
office
space
for
for
Lucas
to
challenge
myself.
I'll
get
Mr,
Chamberlain
was
involved
in
there
too.
You
know,
I
think
it's
a
great
idea.
I
mean
it's
there's
office
space
there,
the
first
of
all
right
the
second
floor.
So
that's
another
one,
but
if
we
can
I
mean
it's
remodeled,
it's
really
nice!
It's
just.
We
have
a
conference
room
there.
We
it's
just
a
matter
of
going
to
get
it
in
an
mou.

That
will
be
November,
okay,
so
the
first
two
there
that
you
know
that's
right:
December,
7th,
yeah,
yes,
so
last
meeting
some
of
the
things
we
one
thing
we
thought
about
was
the
the
Master
Gardener
program,
I'm,
still
waiting
to
hear
back
from
Angie
Salinas
at
the
Webb
County
Extension,
Office
and
they're,
going
to
have
I
mean
it's
open
to
anybody.
Who's
interested
I
think
also
who's
interested
in
getting
that
certificate,
but
also
there
are
people
that
go
through
the
program
need
to
complete
hands
on
hours,
60.
G
E
A
B
A
I
just
want
to
be
talking,
however,
the
purple
notes
or
something
okay,
so
there
are
if
there,
if
it's,
not
exactly
it's
very
close
to
what
is
already
being
suggested
in
the
plan
and
what
we're
asking
the
people
here
and
departments
and
organizations
and
people
in
the
food
policy
Council
or
the
orgs
and
the
food
policy
Council
to
start.
You
know
kind
of
breaking
those
silos
and
helping
get
this
Five-Year
Plan.
A
The
whole
point
of
the
exercise
is
to
break
those
silos
and
get
everybody
done
to
start,
recognizing
that
they
can
their
synergies
and
working
together
on
some
of
these
things,
not
to
mention
it's
a
lot
more
fun
than
doing
it
by
yourself
and
anyways.
So
the
idea
is
to
definitely
you
know,
start
making
these
projects
that
are
already
happening.
A
As
an
example,
there
is
a
project
that
several
orgs
are
working
on:
the
health
department,
lcuas
and
City
main
green,
with
people
of
lived
experience
in
Azteca
neighborhood
to
address
food
desert
issues
that
are
causing
a
lot
of
problems
in
this
area.
It's
a
very
isolated
part
of
the
city.
It's
it's
a!
If
you
all
have
not
been
there
I'm
sure
most
of
you
have,
but
it's
a
beautiful
area
in
the
city
in
terms
of
the
greens,
resources
that
are
there
there,
it's
a
very
a
unique
part
of
the
city.
A
It
has
the
only
waterfall
in
the
city.
It
has
so
many
incredible
qualities,
but
it
has
no
meeting
space,
no,
the
the
little
store.
That
was
there
closed
the
HEB
closed.
They
are
have
several
I
mean
it
answers
several
of
these
healthy
food
system,
these
different
sectors
very,
very
directly,
and
if,
if
the
Methodist
Healthcare
System
does
support
this
particular
project,
there's
a
potential
of
over
a
million
dollars
that
are
going
into
that
particular
project.
A
A
G
G
A
A
He
was
away
for
a
few
days
it's
supposed
to
meet
and
talk
about
that
we'll
get
together
and
we'll
see
if
there's
a
project
there.
So
we
do
have
in
this
one
community,
Farm
Garden
I'm,
trying
to
change
it
from
garden
to
farm
community
Farm
anticipated
as
part
of
the
first
three
years
or
I.
Don't
know
if
it's
the
five
years,
one
in
each
district
I
think
we
have
three
done
but
like
we
have
fun
Central
and
one
District.
We
have
the
one
that
Hillside
that's
another.
H
G
A
H
G
B
C
C
She
has
a
great
team
behind
her
and
she's
involved
in
a
lot
of
the
similar
initiatives
that
we
have
growing,
that
I'm
in
she's,
no
stranger
to
lcuas
she's,
been
here
in
previous
meetings
and
we're
in
preparation
for
the
food
policy
Council
the
Town
Event,
and
so
you
know,
she's
very
well.
Qualified
I,
think
for
the
role
and
I
think
it
would
really
tell.
F
E
With
gardening
or
make
a
difference,
big
events,
service
projects
or
other
initiatives,
or
you
were
a
student
at
the
University
and
who
worked
for
medical
projects,
so
anything
that
you
will
need
again.
It
will
be
a
representative
from
the
education
perspective
and
so
I'm
eager
to
see
what
else
we
need
to
partner
with
school
districts
and
the
quality
speakers.
Sales
are
definitely
uniform
to
educate
our
new
and
incoming
workers.
E
F
F
A
A
A
So
discussion
with
possible
action
on
hiring
a
program
coordinator
to
assist
in
managing
the
mission
of
Lucas
and
the
goals
of
healthy
food
system
plan
with
the
LaRue
food
policy.
Council
I
put
this
I
put
the
side
upon
the
agenda
just
to
begin
discussion
on
this,
because
the
grant
that
helped
us
finish
this
and
help
with
the
facilitation.
So
you
may
bring
with
the
policy
Council
so.
A
A
What
he's
been
trying
to
do
by
himself
so
and
it's
just
like
not
awesome
so
I'm
putting
this
on
I
mean.
Obviously
the
money
is
not
there,
but
what
we're?
What
I
just
want
to
hear
from
you
all
is
you
know
to
put
it
on
the
horizon
and
to
say:
okay,
if
we're
taking
all
of
these
things
that
this
organization
is
supposed
to
do.
B
D
It
okay,
yeah
and
then
admission,
and
also
it
will
give
you
more
opportunities
for
Grants.
So,
instead
of
you
thinking
of
a
program
instead
of
you
wanting
to
create
a
program
for
the
grant,
we
need
to
have
it
already
organized
to
where
there's
the
programs
are
already
established,
and
it's
easier
for
us
to
look
back
to
the
programs
for
the
threats
you
can
mean
like.
Instead
of
trying
to
come
up
with
something
that
it
might
work,
it
might
not
work
they
might
like
it.
They
might
might
not
like
it
so
I
do
agree.
D
E
The
lbb
grant
is
aligned
with
educational
components
correct
which
equals
to
a
potential
position
to
provide
that
support.
So
maybe
that's
an
idea.
Instead
of
focusing
on
the
actual
program
itself,
rather
look
for
funding
to
secure
for
a
position
to
help
reporting
and
logistically
streamline
the
resources.
I,
don't
know,
that's
something
of
thought.
A
I
know
that
the
city
is
interested
in
lcuis
and
that's
the
climate,
change
debate
and
realities
happen.
The
more
interested
everybody
is,
and
we
have
a
huge
responsibility
to
the
city,
whether
it
be
food,
accessibility,
water,
soil,
you
know,
canopy,
there's
another
project
and
I
stepped
out
for
addressing
canopy.
That's
part
of
that
Grant
as
well.
Lcuas
is
on
as
well
it's.
It
is
a
it's
a
mammoth
undertaking,
so
anybody
else
have
I'd
really
like
to
hear
what
you
all
think.
This
is.
A
F
H
F
H
A
H
F
F
H
E
F
B
A
A
A
I
will
send
out
an
email
with
like
with
the
Google
Doc
and
I
will
put
the
bylaws
in
there
and
I'll
put
you
know
just
so
that
we
know
what
we're
supposed
to
be
looking
for
and
and
just
you
know,
build
it
up
that
way
and
see
what
we
come
up
with
for
the
next
meeting.
Just
so
that
we
can,
you
know,
get
this
ball
rolling.
B
A
E
G
G
A
A
This
is
something
one
discussion
with
possible
action
to
hire
an
accountant
to
file
as
needed
to
maintain
our
501c3
with
an
IRS
with
the
IRS
I.
Don't
know
how
else
to
do
this,
except
that
we
need
to
get
somebody
on
board
and
start
reviewing
our
books,
because
we're
going
to
need
to
file
with
the
IRS
the
501c3.
