We have had a wonderful response but have become aware that there are Master Gardeners in some states who have not received any information. We would appreciate state and province leaders forwarding this newsletter to all Master Gardeners in your area. If you are an individual MG who knows of other MG’s who have not gotten our information, please forward this newsletter or just suggest that they phone us directly at 501-671-2174. Please remember your MG friends and acquaintances that do not have e-mail since that has been our primary means of communication. We look forward to having a top-notch conference and hope to have participants from many states and provinces.
