Please remember that to be a Master Gardener you must have completed all the requirements each and every year. There have been some occurrences where folks have claimed to be Master Gardeners and they have not completed and maintained their obligations. This is a violation of the law.
What a great success the Blazichs’ seminars were. We not only paid for all their expenses but also made a little bit of money as a result. We helped out our friends in 4H as well since they provided the meal. Our visitors seemed to really enjoy themselves and hopefully they will come back for the next one.
Speaking of which, the North Brunswick Expo was a great success also. Twice as many people attended as last year and there were lots of new questions. We must have over 20 "Newcomers Kits" to pass out.
Which brings on the next topic, which is all the seminars coming up. I will be contacting you on the Supply Elementary School project. Other upcoming seminars include: Feb. 16th, Southport Library, 2:00-3:00 PM, subject "Are you ready for Spring?"; Southport Wal-Mart, Feb.18th, 10:00-1:00, seminar at 11:00, same subject as above; Feb. 20, Coastal Garden Club, BMEC room, 1:00-2:00 PM, “Preparing for Spring”; Mar. 1st, Welcome Center in Southport, 1:00-2:00 PM, "Composting"; Mar. 8th, Leland Library, 10:00-11:00 AM, "Are you ready for Spring?"; Mar. 24-26th, "Home and Garden Show" at West Brunswick High School. I'm sure other things will come up. Please remember these events and I will call if you live in the area and ask for some help signing folks in and selling books, etc.
What a great year we had in 2005 and it looks like this year will be even better. New class starts Feb 8th; stop in and say "Hi" to our new members. Help make them feel at home!
Charlie,
PS, I almost forgot, Mar 31st is the all-day "Coastal Garden Seminar" We will invite the public again and try and cover expenses. Billy Privette and 4H will again prepare the food. Topics will be provided at a later date.
