HGC Gives to Grow

The Club's tradition of giving continues this year with funds collected at the Christmas Dinner Social earmarked for a local charity / non-profit.  But which one?
Last year, the funds went to the CBC Turkey Drive for Edmonton's Food Bank.

This year, we agreed to focus on gardening and agricultural initiatives.

The following groups immediately came to mind:

• The St. Albert Bontanic Park - This volunteer run, 5-acre botanic park tests and displays various plants, and acts as a meeting and educational space.  The club made a visit in August.
• Dustin Bajer's Urban Ag High project - Creates urban agriculture learning opportunities for junior and senior high students in Edmonton.  

Can you think of others that would be a good fit?

The collection continues until we make a choice.

Happy holidays!
