in starting a food co-op in the area that would serve PLG, Crown
Heights, Flatbush, Ditmas Park, Kensington, and surrounding
communities. If you are interested in helping to improve the
availability of healthy food in Prospect Lefferts Gardens and its
neighboring communities, we will be having our first meeting on August

The goal of this meeting is to build a group of residents to work on
the following:

*Planning for a community-wide food issues meeting for October

We anticipate meeting regularly to plan goals and create realistic

sustainable, and affordable. If you are interested in getting involved
