Notes from last nights meeting

If I can, I will try to publish our meeting notes from last night asap.

Also- did anyone run off with my JMG calendar?

Morris Vineyard Trip- Friday, October 5, 10 am- for those interested, e-mail or call me and we will see how many can go. I must hear from you by Tuesday October 2. I will give you details on location, etc then.

A few other thoughts- In December at our Christmas party, we will vote on changing our meeting time and place- possibly to Columbus Botanical Gardens, maybe change the time to noon? Think about it-comment if you wish. Also- starting next year, I will give certificates at the December Christmas Party for the futureMG classes.

We had a great meeting- thanks to all of yo who brought food/contacted our speaker, etc. This organization wouldn't run without your support.

Thanks to Dan and Caroline- we finished the JMG beds- they are ready for installation- the news should be there on Wednesday- if anyone would like ot come out and support the JMG group.

Blog ya later!

JMG going well- i will put out a shcedule for ya'll to look at and maybe volunteer for.
