2013 Conference Update

The 2013 Conference Planning has Officially Begun!!!

We kicked things off with our first meeting April 5th and we're off to a great start!
But we need you, yes you!!  We are still in the early brainstorming stages and
 we want to get all of our Master Gardeners involved.  This conference is a big
undertaking and we have so much talent and diversity in our group that could
really make this a greatevent.

At our first meeting we formed groups and discussed our "Dream Conference."
We came up with things we liked or disliked about other conferences and
what our dream conference would have.  It was a great way to share ideas but also to
familarize with other master gardeners in our organization. 

Our next meeting will be on Thursday May 3rd after the regular business meeting
(approx.6pm).  We invite you to attend to share your ideas or to just listen. 
We will be brainingstorming, "How to get others involved".  We all have different
personalities or "comfort zones".  How do we encompass these dynamics to
successfully get people involved.

2013 All-State Conference Planning

April 5th and May 3rd after the General Business Meeting (at about 6 pm) we will be meeting to start planning the 2013 conference hosted by our Rock Prairie Master Gardener Association. What an honor, right?!! This is an event for all volunteers to showcase their talents and what it means to be a Master Gardener.

Please plan to attend these meetings. There are a variety of volunteer opportunities that will need to be filled from being a part of a committee to organizing on the event day. All help is welcome.

We are still in the early stages of planning, and our goal is to get the word out because we want everyone to be part of this event! We will be making phone calls in the coming months to personally invite you to be part of this event!!!!

If you are interested in helping and cannot attend, or if you have questions, please contact Erika Rebout (erebout22@gmail.com) or Laura Boettcher (laura.boettcher@gmail.com)
