Hi Jay,
We saw the sign you left. It looks great. Thank you.
We would love to have more people involved with our picnic, so let me know if there is another time you will be meeting up.
I have a press release written, but would appreciate help distributing it to local outlets. Is there an email address that I can send an attachment to?
Thx,
Maria (another Houghton gardener)
