All LES gardens can have one
representative (member) in LUNGS. Upon stating that their
garden has chosen them to represent them in LUNGS and
paying $10 annual dues, the represt
LUNGS directors are elected for two
years, which means the current board is up for
re-election.
(Re my TBD: I'm working it out with Max
Katz, who grew up in El Sol, ceded his seat to me and has
moved back, yay).
PLEASE ADVISE ASAP if you have any
corrections, additions, suggestions.
