Thanks to the generosity of Ted Oatis, Gardens for Charlestown now has its own website. On this site you will find a list of current members, the waiting list, and a calendar of garden events. You’ll also see past issues of the newsletter and minutes from GfC board meetings as well as photos of the garden and our many community events. Beginning in April, each issue of the newsletter will be posted to the site. Instead of an email copy of the newsletter, you’ll receive a quick email notice that the new edition is available on the site. And, you’ll be able to send a message to the board through the “Contact Us” tab. If you have questions or comments about anything garden-related, items for the calendar, announcements of general interest, or photographs you’d like to add to the site, we’ll be happy to have them. Please take a look and let us know what you think!

From Bette Task: We are moving the annual Easter Egg Hunt back to Palm Sunday, April 1st, so that it doesn’t conflict with the CMA hunt. We are moving the time to 11:30 so that everyone can go to church and still take part in the Hunt.
Volunteers: I’ll need 3 or 4 people to “hide” the eggs and someone to oversee a coloring and sticker activity, if interested. (I’ve always kept it very simple as most of the kids are very young.)
Because the weather has been so mild, bulbs have started coming up. It will be important this year to keep the little ones out of the plots. All the eggs should be reachable from the paths.
RSVPs: To be sure we have enough eggs, please e-mail me (bette.task@yahoo.com) with the names and ages of your children if you plan to attend. We keep this event small so that all the kids have a chance to get some eggs. Thanks so much.

Charlestown plans to commemorate 9/11 with a ceremony sponsored by Friends of City Square, the Mothers Association, and Gardens for Charlestown. The ceremony will include participation by local clergy, representatives from the Boston Fire Department, and local officials. There will be a flag raising, a color guard and music. After the ceremony we will lay a wreath on the 9/11 Memorial on Galvin Green. This Memorial was established by Friends of City Square and Gardens for Charlestown in 2002. Please join the gathering on Sunday, Sept. 11 at noon at the City Square Park to recognize the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
