Please Vote for the ASA Garden Project!!

One of the really cool things that my former co-worker, Janet, and the After School Academy has been able to do over the past year since they moved to the Roseland neighbohood is have a community garden! The after school program was able to partner with an organization called the Gleaning Network. The kids have been able to work in their own garden and learn about growing vegetables and more. They each take turns working in the garden and watering it, etc. It is a really neat experience for these city kids! :-)

Some of you may have seen the commercials on television about the Pepsi Refresh grant program. Janet has placed the ASA Garden up for voting for one of these grants. If they receive enough votes, they will get a grant that will allow them to expand the community garden. It's really easy to vote and you can vote once a day!

Here is what Janet sent me in an email:

"Help us out with our Pepsi Refresh grant for the ASA Learning Garden at Roseland. You can read more about our garden here:

Vote daily for our Pepsi Refresh grant at http://pep.si/cMwxEy or Text 101161 to Pepsi (73774) . You can vote once a day...we NEED you to vote once a day! I've set a reminder on my phone so I can text each morning. I've heard it's easier to text your vote in anyway.

Please pass on to all of your friends!"
