Hi All,
This is a brand new group for Chicago (and the surrounding suburbs). I probably won't have any get togethers or events planned until after I graduate in June, but please feel free to join. We can spend the time discussing our interests and things we'd like to do together. :-)

NW Indiana isn't too far away, and I know there are a few of us down here--maybe we could come up for a get together too!

I'm thinking our chapter should have some sort of monthly exchange project. I think it would be a neat way to keep in touch. It could be like a round-robin care package, or a partner exchange. We could pick a theme for each month-- for example a seed exchange, recipe exchange or chapter cookbook, scrap book page exchange, or something. What does everyone think?

Greetings everyone. I got my chapter kit in the mail today and there are some great things I'd like to share with our charter members-- a chapter membership certificate, friendship cards and MJF bumper sticker (so we can all show off our farmgirl pride). I'll stick these in the mail to everyone as soon as you guys email me (pretty please) your mailing addresses. These are our charter members:
Vintage Chica (Eren) of Kenosha
Kim of Sycamore
City Chick (Deb) of Chicago
Vintage Redhead (Kaylyn) of St. Charles
DDMashayeki (Dawn) of Homer Glen
(And of course as Kathy has mentioned, the NW Indiana farmgirls are welcome to join us anytime!)
The chapter kit also included some sample journal pages that were pretty neat. I think we should start a chapter journal soon as well.
Also, I think it would be neat for everyone to head over the blog at http://chicagourbanfarmgirls.wordpress.com and write up a short introduction in the Farmgirl Bios section-- who you are, what your interests are, etc. Just email me an email address when you let me know your mailing address. With the email address I can add you as a user on the blog so you can post entries also. Needless to say, I won't be using your mailing or email addresses for anything other than chapter communications. :-)

Count Me in. I am in Prospect Hts, in the Northwest Suburbs. I also have reached out to "farmgirls" in Elmhurst and Glenview, who might be interested, trying to get a chapter going in the NW suburbs.
I would love to help with organizing. I so need to interact with a group of like-minded women.
I wasn't born in a barn, but I was raised in one. |

XOXO, Libbie

Did I ever send you my info?

The song of the birds for mirth,--
One is nearer God's heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth.
