I didn't have the opportunity to really thank all the folks involved in the Supply School project. Everyone involved seemed to think that it was an outstanding success. Special thanks go to Nancy Einbinder for all the extra efforts that she put forth to insure success. She was the glue that held the whole thing together. This effort is what the Master Gardener Program is all about.
Please help welcome the new Master Gardener class as they pitch in to help us. Most of them have already joined us in our plant sales, etc.; now let's give them some help on the Hot Line. We are trying to develop a "Mentoring Program" to help our new members further. If you can help, please let me or David know.
Please read the updated info above on the volunteer hours required to maintain your status as a Master Gardener. It also contains info on the annual dues required to belong to the MG Association.
I know this is a busy time of the year for all of us. We can use any help on the Hot Line and all the other activities that we do. So any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for everything that you all do. This is a great program and it can only happen as a result of each and everyone's efforts. Give yourself a great big pat on the back!

UPCOMING DATES:
• Our Recognition Banquet is June 20. This is our opportunity to honor the new class of Master Gardeners and those who took advanced classes and to relax and visit with each other. Invitations should be going out soon.
• If you want to join Charlie and others for a visit to the daylily farm on June 14, let Charlie know ASAP. We’re planning a trip to the Marietta Daylily Gardens on June 14th. I can take 11 people with me in the Extension van. It's about one and a half hours from here. If you are interested, call and let me know. We will leave here at 7:30 and can pick up some folks at the McDonalds on State Road 904 and US 17 about 8:00. It is a great trip and the owners like us. You will never find betters buys on daylilies. If you can drive, it leaves lots more room for your daylilies! They really take good care of us.
• Don’t forget the Pond Tour on June 10.
