SEE YOU THERE!
I attended the Summer School in Alexandria last Saturday. I enjoyed General Session in the morning and also the two breakout sessions in the afternoon. I went to the Vegetable Pest Management Class and the Turfgrass class because I felt these were my weakest personal areas. I enjoyed both sessions very much. The instructors are very helpful with lots of good information. I hated for the day to end.
When I was looking at the posters in the hallway, another MG said that the pictures on the posters can be downloaded from Julie's blog. I searched the blog and was unable to find a "photo" section. Can you tell me where to find the pictures? They would be great for posters/information/etc when dealing with the public. Thank you.
