Charlies says:
The Conference was A TREMENDOUS success. I received many complements on the entire conference from speakers, to facilities, tours, vendors and even the food. Each and every one of you needs to give yourself a large pat on the back for “A job well done”. Let’s not forget what our leaders, Al Hight and David Barkley did to help insure the success of the conference. Their efforts were way over and above what is required. We all owe a debt of gratitude to our President, Shirley, who really make all this possible. I know there were many others of you that put in many hours and lots of worry and panic at times and to those, I really want to thank you for all you accomplished. The folks that attended will not soon forget their visit to our lovely County.
Now that the conference is past history, it’s time to plan your schedule for the upcoming Plant Sale. Oct. 16, 17 and 18. We need help on all shifts for all three days. If you have not signed up and can help, please call me and get scheduled. Thank heaven; this is the last big function of the year except for the Holiday Party. Please give me a call or e-mail me for working on the Plant Sale.
Last but surely not least, Al Hight wants to provide a lunch for the Association in appreciation for the Association’s efforts on behalf of the Cooperative Extension. The Extension staff will provide a Lasagna dinner with salad and desert on October. 23rd right after the monthly meeting. As the staff will be preparing the food, it is important that we know how many people will be attending. Please call either Betty or me and let us know if you are planning on joining us. This action is known as “RSVP”. You will be receiving a postcard invitation to this event also. We will even have chicken and vegetable lasagna!!!! How’s that for variety!!!

In Remembrance
It is with regret that I have to announce that we have lost two of our members in the past couple of weeks. Happy McCrary and Maureen More have gone to a better place where there are no weeds in the garden and all the tomato plants grow the best tomatoes ever.
Happy was in the class of 2007 and Maureen was a graduate of the class of 2008. Take a moment and wish them Good speed and a prayer for their families. This is the hardest part of my job when I have to make these types of announcements.

From the President's desk...
Shirley wants to thank EVERYONE who volunteered to help make the 2008 Master Gardener Conference the great success it was. It could not have been accomplished without your many volunteer hours. Mother Nature even cooperated and gave us perfect weather. From the facilities to the guest speakers, everything was perfect.
Remember the plant sale October 16, 17 and 18. Charlie will be giving information regarding times volunteers are needed.
Cathie Rod has agreed to become the Corresponding Secretary for the BCMGVA. She will be sending cards to MG members who are ill or have had a death in the immediate family. Let me or Charlie know such information and we will pass this on to Cathie. I also want to thank Peggy Meinzer for fulfilling this duty in the past.
If you are interested in serving as a BCMGVA officer, contact a member of the nominating committee. They are Dominique Loewenstein, Joe Loughlin or Cathie Rod.
I hope everyone is ready for fall gardening. Now is the time to plant those shrubs you have wanted. Remember the plant sale is a great spot to do some shopping.
See you at the October membership meeting. There may be something different at this meeting so plan on attending.
