[Lindengardens] this list

[Anna Bershteyn]

Hi everyone,

I changed the settings per Candy's recommendation -- if I did it
right, when you hit "reply" your email will go to the whole list. If
you want to reply only to the sender of the message, please copy their
email address into the "to" field.

Thanks to everyone who's offered enthusiasm and great suggestions for
making our building greener and our community stronger.  Andres and I
are going stirrer-stick shopping for our composter now... :)

Best,
 Anna
