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.
