Cozmo's green thumb
Believe it not... CJ's Cozmo loves to garden and has quite a green thumb, especially when it comes to heirloom tomato seedlings. He also loves to share and as such Shannon Clover, CJ's Operations Director, is holding several different types of tomato seedlings Cozmo's donated to CJ. Some employees bring in cake, others cookies... Cozmo brings in tomatoes.
The individually potted seedlings are Certifiied Naturally Grown and $3 each. All proceeds (100%) benefit CJ so be sure to buy a few the next time you stop into the store. If you love tomatoes, then you haven't lived until you've tasted heirloom tomatoes. We're not kidding!

CJ Q&A
I'm looking for bar stools for the Kelly Strayhorn lobby. Also, we are looking for small round tables... also for our lobby. I need at least ten. Can you let me know if you come across some? -- Eric
Eric -- We're blasting out this question to increase the liklihood of us getting something that'll work for you. Anyone reading this who may have a whole bunch of bar stools and/or small tables could also contact Eric (eric at kelly-strayhorn.org) directly and make their donation to the Kelly Strayhorn. -- Cozmo
