From the President's desk...

Thanks to all who attended the January meeting. We have a great speaker for February check page one! Cathie Rod has agreed to serve as the President's appointment to the Nominating Committee. We are all busy with the ‘08 conference. We will have sent out over 200 letters to potential vendors, sponsors, etc. Later we will need to contact individuals personally. Tours, speakers, workshops, conference tote bags and shirts are being arranged. A conference flow chart is in the works. We mail conference announcements to all Master Gardeners by the end of June. Registration deadline without a late fee is September 1st. Join the state assoc. (NCMGVA) and receive a discount for the conference.
