\n\u25cf Lunch and Learns:
\n<\/strong>\u25cb 17th of July, 5-7 pm (to be confirmed): Diet and health, by K. Sidhartha M. D. + cooking demonstration
\n\u25cb kitchens in Clark and AVAST are not certified by the board of health, so we will not eat food prepared on site. Maybe can do potluck and\/or prepare food in advance (would need RSVP for headcount)
\n\u25cb Seb will enquire with Nathalie about conflicting events in WHOI calendar and about honorarium
\n\u25cb Kumara will have his book available for sale at event

\n\u25cf Garden update
\n<\/strong>\u25cb So far in the meadow behind LOSOS: 4 fruit trees and a birch (moved last Fall from behind Clark bldg). Fruit trees are struggling.
\n\u25cb Budget shortage, need alternative way to get native trees\/shrubs (no pitch pines because they get borers). Seb can donate 2 Pawpaw trees, 1 Elderberry. Are there other folks who can donate trees or bushes (preferably native and resistant to drought) ?
\n\u25cb Trying to provide shade for people to meet outside in summer and promote biodiversity.
\n\u25cb Could use new area behind Redfield building as template for bench area.
\nTO DO: Seb makes a drawing draft and keeps in contact with Rick to look for more plants and trees. Then reach out through headlines for tree donations.\n
\n\u25cf Van pool
\n<\/strong>\u25cb At least 2 employees have expressed interest in a van pool between Sandwich\/Mashpee and WHOI. Is there more interest and should we send a survey ? Are there experiences to build on ?
\n\u25cb Quote ( Links are on Sustainability website):
\n\u25a0 Got a quote back in 2017 with Enterprise: $1,100 (or 165$ per person) per month. 7 people max
\n\u25a0 Other local company: YesWeVan
\n\u25a0 Massride link also (with tax incentives)
\n\u25a0 Emergency Ride program reimburses some emergency rides.
\n\u25cb Sign up sheet for carpooling
\nTO DO: Make two google sheets one for van-pooling one for car pooling
