Dear TLC Members and Friends,
Just a quickie to (mostly) remind you of a bunch of ways to get involved with TLC this weekend, and to remind you to Vote For TLC in online contests that could help us raise $13,000. So, without further ado (shout out to Max M. for catching my French mistake from last time)...
If you have friends you think would enjoy reading TLC's E-News, please forward this to them using the "Forward to a Friend" link at the very bottom of this message.

Vote for TLC in the Nature’s Path Gardens For Good Contest
Online Balloting Extended to June 15!
Vote for TLC to win a $10,000 grant for the Healthy Choices Garden online through JustMeans OR through Facebook. Voting has been extended until June 15, but don't delay - Vote Today!
Just outside Carrboro, TLC and the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle (IFFS), a member of Feeding America, are sprouting a new idea and partnership—The Healthy Choices Garden.
Together, TLC and IFFS are focusing on one vision of developing a permanently protected organic food production site that will help feed hungry Triangle citizens, train new farmers, and educate the community about local, healthy food production and nutrition.
ps: The voting at this point is really close, so you, our E-News readers, have a great opportunity to bring home the green for TLC!

3. One day left to sign up for this weekend's outings
There's still a handful of spaces available in both of these outings... Don't miss out!
June 5: Urban Agriculture Tour of Downtown Durham
June 6: Children’s Stream Exploration at Johnston Mill
4. Meet our June Members of the Month:
Cyndi Grover and Greg Smith
Cyndi and Greg have had some run ins with snakes. They’ve discovered a couple sloshing around the bottom of their canoe. The first time it happened, Greg expected Cyndi to panic. She didn’t flinch; instead she told Greg the snake was heading his way. Cyndi and Greg met through a Triangle outdoor group and its whitewater canoeing outings. Their fascination with engineering, with piecing how things work together in nature, has kept them discovering new adventures.
Learn more about Cyndi and Greg in our Member Spotlight.
5. Have you seen our Ayrshire Farm video yet?
Everybody who has seen this video LOVES IT! So last month we embedded the YouTube video into the E-News. And a bunch of people couldn't open our message. So here it is again, not embedded, just linked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25KJ0Fgj3WA. If you haven't seen this yet, please take six minutes to watch it. I promise you won't regret it.
Read more about the Ayrshire Farm conservation project.
As always, thanks for reading E-News!

Director of Communications
