Reading Passage

Subject: Reminder: Community Garden Volunteer Day Dear Community Garden Volunteers, I hope this email finds you well and excited for the upcoming volunteer day at our community garden! As many of you know, our garden has become a wonderful space for families, students, and neighbors to come together, enjoy nature, and grow fresh produce. Your dedication and hard work are what make this project successful, and we truly appreciate your continued support. We have scheduled our next volunteer day for Saturday, April 15th, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us if you can. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or new to the community, your help is valuable and needed. We will be working on several important tasks during this time, including planting new seedlings, weeding the vegetable beds, and preparing the compost area for the upcoming growing season. In addition to planting and maintenance, we will also be installing some new signage to help visitors navigate the garden more easily. If anyone has suggestions for signs or ideas to improve the space, please bring those along or send me an email beforehand. We want to make the garden welcoming and easy to enjoy for everyone. For those who are interested in participating but have limited time, even an hour of your help can make a difference. Please feel free to come and go as your schedule allows. We will have tools, gloves, and snacks available, but if you prefer to bring your own tools or refreshments, please do so. Safety is our top priority, especially since we will be working outdoors. We ask that all volunteers wear sturdy shoes, bring hats or sunglasses for sun protection, and apply sunscreen before arriving. If you are feeling unwell or have any symptoms of illness, we kindly ask you to stay home and rest. We want to ensure everyone’s health and safety during our workday. After the work is done, we plan to have a small celebration with snacks and drinks around 12:30 p.m. to thank everyone for their efforts. It will also be a great opportunity to share gardening tips, meet new friends, and enjoy some time outdoors. If you have any questions or need additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email at communitygarden@gmail.com or call the garden’s main office at (555) 123-4567. Also, if you know someone who might be interested in volunteering, please feel free to bring them along or share this message. Thank you once again for your commitment to making our community garden a vibrant and welcoming place. We look forward to seeing many of you on April 15th! Warm regards, Jane Smith Garden Coordinator
