Want to join the "Georgetown Whine Line?" or the "Political talk line?" or the "Computer Repair line?" or the "Flowers and Veggies line?"  Well, send us your request. The list, originally started and owned by Rich Coco is still runs threads of Georgetown interest, and have spawned many would-be other google groups in town (liz).  FriendsofLonnie_ @gogglegroups.com originally started out as a collection of supporters of Lonnie Brennan's Selectman election campaign. It has evolved [devolved] into a general free-for-all about all things Georgetown, and "list" contains many non-friends. It's quite the howl, and it's quite a community of sharing (and yes, opinion and gossip).  Venture forth if you are interested or brave.  click here to send us an e-mail to get on the list

Plot Plan
Application

We have open territory to re-claim after laying fallow for years, but it's out back, and you have to be made of stern stuff to re-claim this tough ground.
Final assignments will be made April 1st, then it's just the rear area for those not assigned.
Note: Once you have a plot, you can keep it until you tell us to change (some folks move around, expand/contract, etc.)

Waiting List for Assignments (25 April 2011):
1. Soucy Family (all set)
2. McGrath Family (all set)
3. Brennan Family (2nd)
4. Vanier Family (3rd)
We have plenty of room up there if you want
to expand out back. Could fit another 70 gardeners...just a matter of plowing it up. Lots of work. Enjoy!
