A Call for Thoughts and Prayers from the CSA Family

Please extend your thoughts and prayers to the Levi Fisher family.

Mary confirmed today that the victims of yesterday's I-69 tragedy in which five were killed were relatives of the family. Those killed were not immediate family members, but extended. Melvin, the father, was the gentleman I worked with earlier this year when considering milk at the CSA.

The deceased are: Melvin Fisher (father & driver), 39; Savilla Fisher (mother), 38; Ruben Fisher, 16; Christian Fisher, 11 and Eli Fisher, 1. Seven others were injured.

Three crash victims are still in critical condition at Methodist Hospital, including Ida Lengacher, 32, of New Haven, her daughter Julia, 3, and son John, 1. Leon Fisher is also in critical condition.

Matthew Lengacher, 9, Mary Beth Lengacher, 7 and Nathan Lengacher, 5 are in fair condition.

I'm sure the family will appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

An Exciting CSA Change...

I'm pleased to announce that charter shareholders Amy and Jeremy Keating have accepted the responsibility for hosting the 2008 season at their Irvington home. Please join me in thanking them for their gift to our community.
From two-years' experience in a similar role, I can tell Amy and Jeremy that they'll enjoy meeting an incredible group of neighbors (and that they'll never forget to pick up their week's share.)
Truly, thanks, Amy and Jeremy.
Great time for the rest of us to share our continued support in the project: email us at irvingtonagriculture@gmail.com with your plans to help Amy, Jeremy, and the rest of the 2008 committee prepare a great season!

Irvington Green Initiative and Citizen's Action Coalition Fund

At pick-up this week, look for flyers from these initiatives. Myers-Nunn neighbor Laura Hildreth has posted some interesting information for you to take, including information on a "living green and mean" forum at the Irvington Branch Library. There's some exciting environmental stuff brewing in Irvington, and you may want to be involved.

We're Wrapping Up 2007! 2008 News Below...

Evening, All. I hope you are well.
Our season is nearing its end. We've enjoyed 80% of our harvest, and there are just 5 weeks left. I do sincerely hope you've enjoyed your experience this year. I hope to see you next year.
Some quick items for wrap-up and next season planning:
  • Soon we'll send a link to an evaluation tool so you may share information about your experience this year and improve our project for next year. Please look for it within the next couple weeks. We hope you'll take the time to share. With 96 families involved this year, we have a wealth of information from which we can learn and grow.
  • Please start discussing your participation plans for next year. Will you have the same share partner? Will you family want to move up to a whole share? Down to a half share? We'll call for interest in next year's project in the last couple weeks of season. We'll be asking soon about your plans for the next season. While your commitment won't be binding, we'll certainly appreciate knowing where you stand for next year's season.
  • If you have friends interested in Irvington CSA, get them to email irvingtonagriculture@gmail.com right away with their interest in next season's wait list. The list is getting long, and my hunch is we're close to full already for next year. Just a hunch, but they need to let us know of their interest.
  • Join us! We've already a few new committee members for next year. Won't you join us, too? In just our third year (2008) we'll appreciate as much help as is out there. Take it from me, this committee's work need not be burdensome. It's been a great way to meet neighbors and enjoy the summer.
Get to thinkin'

We'll look forward to hearing from you soon.
