[MassChestnutOrchards] Ordering ACF orchard signs

[Rudi Hempe]

Hello,
I am Rudi Hempe and will be overseeing the URI Master Gardener volunteers
who will be working on the new orchard planned for land in South Kingstown
RI.
Yvonne is planning to present this project at the Jan. 18 meeting.
Will there be a sign for this new orchard as well? So far as framing is
concerned, I am a woodworker and am willing to make a suitable frame for
this new orchard at no cost.
