Update Your Contacting Power
It’s that time of the year when the State Office puts together a business card order for Master Gardeners. If you would like to order, please use the attached order form, and send it back to me (ccoley@uada.edu) by March 31, 2023. Remember to read the order form carefully and check spelling before submitting your order. Please list only one phone number and one email address, and no sayings or quotes can be printed on the cards. Someone will collect all for Pulaski County during the April County 76 membership meeting. Cards are 100 for $10.00.
State Conference Registration
Today is the last day for your early registration discount. Here’s the link to the informational page. However, you will need to log into the MG Only Section to register. If you need help with that, please let me know. A tip for registering…print out the “About Your Registration” pages to help you navigate through the registration. This will show you the workshops, tours and speakers you are interested in. After today, registration goes up an additional $20.
