***This is a message from a member of Friends of Students for 60,000***
Suoer idea, Michael. Getting utensils donated should be very ea= sy.
Within FSFS and SF60,000 we could probably do it all.

one of th= e goals is to make the gardens a requirement..
i think it will help to m= easure the success of the first "pilot gardens"
and then implement at all t= he schools based on what works and what does
not..
it would be great to = buy utensils but my guess is if we asked around we
could get them donated..=
people buy new silverware all the time and i do not recall a great deal= of
it being donated over the years...
a few spoons here and a couple fo= rks there will add up and we can stock
thekitchens with these donations..i think this would be a good initiative to
get out on facebook..
sf60= k alum remember this program and all the 5 and 10 dollar donations
could ad= d up and help us raise funds to do some of these smaller "reward
type proje= cts" or perhaps even remodeling of a comedor or two..
talk soon
