Hey, y’all! Lee again. It’s been a wild couple weeks here at SEEED. We’re
gearing up for our next career readiness training course in August, but before
then there’s a lot to do. We are in the early stages of planning a new
opportunity for our job trainees. The city will be rolling out a brand new 7.12
MILLION dollar program to weatherize houses, and it’s still up in the air how
to spread the word. Everybody knows that SEEEED is the place to go for green
jobs like weatherization, so I think it’ll get busy around here soon. Right now
it’s a lot to take in, but it’ll all be worth it once those first paychecks
come in for our trainees.
The building is pretty quiet this week since we don’t have
the Just Lead kids here. John and I have been rocking out to his favorite music
for getting stuff done, Taylor Swift, with the occasional Watch Me played by
Josh, dance included. Never a dull day at SEEED!

Don’t forget that we have raised garden beds that are
available for anyone to plant their vegetables in. The edible forest is looking good, and there are some tiny little fruits showing up. There’s still some room in a
few of the garden beds, so if don’t have room in your yard come on down here to plant some
vegetables. The best part is that raised beds have fewer weeds, and you don’t
have to bend over to weed them!

Our next big project is updating the donor list so that we can keep y'all updated on what SEEED is doing. It turns out we don't have the mailing addresses for lots of people. Since everybody loves getting mail (as long as it isn't a bill!), be on the lookout for a letter over the next few weeks from all of us here at SEEED. Until then, John's keeping you up to date on facebook and twitter. Come in and see us any time!
