Volunteers needed for 2023!

 Aloha gardeners,


The new year is fast approaching, and we are seeking officers and committee members for next year’s MCG Board. It’s a great way to get acquainted with your fellow gardeners and become involved with running the garden.
We plan to hold elections in early December and are hoping you’ll choose a position now and sign up.
If you are a paid member and primary gardener, you are eligible.
We have five elected officers: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Applications Officer. 
We also have three committee volunteer positions: Monitoring, Cleanup and Compost Committees. 
We’ve listed the duties for each of the positions below. If two gardeners are interested in sharing the duties of a position, that is also possible.
We want to hear from you. Please email us and tell us which position(s) interest you.
You’ll also find signup sheets in the tool shed and middle mall of the garden. 

We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to the 2023 MCG Board.
