I’ve already gushed enough about the beauty of the CTC, or Community Transition Center. So I’ll let the coordinator do the talking for me. Here’s her positing to CNRG:

Please include me in your email list. I will forward your emails to all of our Personal Agents. Any information on this weeks plant sale would be great. Thank you!
Hi Tricia, Right now we don’t have an email list, but you can sign up to receive the CTC emails. I will post a story on this week’s plant sale on the front page, but if you want to contact the director yourself, her name is Sarah Goforth, and her email is sgoforth “at” pps.k12.or.us.:) I have loved the plants from this sale, but my one warning would be that because these seedlings are grown in a greenhouse, they often have little bugs. Be sure to choose the bug-free plants if you can. (I have planted the buggy ones, and they still do okay.) ~C
