The Club has asked this many times before but things are going unattended with a skeleton crew running things, the club needs a minimum of two more volunteers to do things. The club facebook page goes unattended and this is a vital tool these days. it doesn't take much if we all do our part. Thanks, Kirk - President

I need a pick up of Biochar in Clinton to be brought to the seminar. The product is light and will take up about 1 sm of space. Contact me if your willing to do this www.gvgogrowers.com

Please send your prepackaged seeds into Jeff Warner. Very few seed packs have been received to date which may result in small seed packs being sent out Kirk
