Good luck Lucy!

It was a bittersweet weekend for HdV. Despite having had many volunteers show their support at work days, seeing the phase 1 plots come together, and adding a significant amount to our compost heap we also said goodbye to one of our dear friends, Lucy.
Lucy Block has been a part of the HdV family since the VERY beginning. Before the fence or water were installed, before the land use agreement was finalized, even before HdV had a name or logo- Lucy was there! For almost two years she has been working hard both in and out of the garden to make HdV a reality. As the Pitzer Urban Fellow, Lucy worked closely with community members to ensure the HdV message and vision was accurately expressed to the City of Ontario, the City of Ontario's Planning Dept., our team of lawyers, and various other organizations. 
In the Spring Lucy was awarded a CORO Fellowship and will head to New York for the next nine months. There is no doubt in our minds that Lucy will do amazing in the CORO program and any organization she works with in New York. Although we will miss Lucy dearly, we wish her the best of luck and look forward to seeing her at the garden in the future!
