  Hi Jim, 

  Congratulations on your move to New Mexico!  How very exciting.  You are more than welcome to be part of the VPA - it's a great resource, especially the virtual community!  As for volunteering, I will definitely think on possible opportunities you could assist with from New Mexico.  I saw that you were in the works of creating a community garden in Apache Junction.  Let us know how that's going.  Stacey Lillebo, our outreach coordinator, works directly with community gardens and is attempting to build a database of all possible community gardens to help disseminate information to the public in letting people know where they can go to take part in the local, fresh food movement.  I hope all is well.  Let us know if we can ever be of assistance.

  Best regards,

  Kat Farris
