<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Moderator:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This message is very important, so I would appreciate it if you would share on Town Talk.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Someone came and totally stripped all our ripe black and red raspberries sometime in the Riversdale gardens between Tuesday evening and Thursday morning. While there were people in the garden for the concert, we don’t think this wholesale
“harvesting” happened during then.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We work closely with our gardener to plan for needs for our programs, and these were going to be served this weekend. (Also, please be aware that anything we don’t use for a program goes to local food banks.)
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We do want you to enjoy the grounds and garden; however, our gardener and her volunteers work very hard and they, especially, deserve your consideration.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>
