<p><b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; color: black;">Howdy friends! </span>

<p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 10pt;"></span> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; color: black;">I hope everyone has enjoyed the lovely spring weather this fall. I mean, we deserved it after last summer's oppressive heat. However, it looks like the fall is done flip flopping, and the cold is here
to stay. This means the UH gang will be busy inside the greenhouse planting leafy green and other hearty winter veggies. If you're thinking about volunteering on a Tuesday or Thursday morning over the winter months, make sure you email, call or text me first
to see what we're doing.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; color: black;">Do you like movies, burritos, and supporting Urban Harvest? Of course you do! Well, December 7th at 6:30pm at Convergence in the Plaza District (OKC) is a night for you. (You may want to mark your calendars
right now.) The good people at Chipotle have agreed to have a donation fundraiser for us. For a (suggested) donation of $5 you'll get a tasty burrito, chips, salsa, a private screening of the film
<em><span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">Fresh</span></em> in one of OKC's most interesting areas and the satisfaction of knowing you're supporting our efforts to feed senior citizens and elementary aged kids. It's a good deal. Tell your friends and Family. We
hope to see you there! </span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; color: black;">“We’re super excited to accelerate our outreach and educational programs this year. The students in our partner afterschool program at Community Youth Outreach live in one of OKC’s most food insecure
zip codes. Your volunteer hours help us spend more time teaching these amazing 3<sup>rd</sup>-5<sup>th</sup> graders where fresh, healthy food comes from and showing them how to grow it for themselves. We know there are a lot of worthwhile volunteer opportunities
in central Oklahoma and we appreciate the time you choose to spend with us.”</span></p>
