May Meeting Preview
Note Date Change!
May meeting has been moved
to Sunday, May 25 to avoid conflict with the Regional Convention. Dave Decker will present his popular clinic on the upgrading of commercially available evergreen trees. Dave says, "I have not met a one of these trees that cannot be improved in some way. I'm asking that each member who is going to participate bring an evergreen tree. The tree will be upgraded during the meeting. "
The photos show what can be done.
