We’re planning to host a pilot rain barrel workshop on Saturday, July 28 from 9:30-11:30 am at the Center for Educational Partnership in Riverdale.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We are trying to get input from community members about this, especially how much they would be willing to pay for a rain barrel, because we are still working with potential suppliers. Since we don’t have any funding, the cost of the rain barrels at the initial workshop will likely be somewhat high but we are hoping to expand this program in the future and get funding to subsidize the cost. Your feedback will help us plan this!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><b>Please fill out this short survey (only 3 questions!) by Wednesday, May 2: </b><span style='color:black'><a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/873FCTT">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/873FCTT</a></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal>Many thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Christie Balch<br>University of Maryland Extension Program Coordinator<br>Center for Educational Partnership<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>6200 Sheridan St.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Riverdale, MD 20737<br><br>Email: <a href="mailto:cbalch@umd.edu">cbalch@umd.edu</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Phone: (301) 779-2806 x706<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><img border=0 width=200 height=98 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01CD22F4.14D5C150" alt="Description: cid:image001.png@01CCCADF.4EE94550"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Like the Sheridan Street Community Garden on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SheridanStreetCommunityGarden">Facebook</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Like University of Maryland Extension – Prince George’s County on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/University-of-Maryland-Extension-Prince-Georges-County/230912006964616?ref=ts">Facebook</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Read about us in the</span> <a href="http://riverdalepark.patch.com/blog_posts/university-of-maryland-extension-starting-rain-barrel-pilot-program">Patch</a><span style='color:black'>!</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
