Hello CCMGA members and friends,
As you may be aware, in compliance with the International
Master Gardener Association changes, the West Virginia Master Gardener
Association has increased the number of education and service hours required
for renewal to 10 and 20 respectively.
Therefore, we must adjust our bylaws to reflect those changes as
well. This is a simple change of a few
numbers in Articles IV and V of the bylaws to keep us in compliance. An opportunity will be available for
discussion of these changes as well as a potential motion to accept the proposed
revisions to the bylaws. A copy of the
updated bylaws with changes in red is available at the link below and will be
printed for the November 10 meeting of CCMGA.
We will also hold a discussion of how CCMGA can provide more
and better education and service opportunities.
Pauline Tiller at the Cabell County Extension Office has asked that we
send our education and service hours to her from the period September 1, 2014
to August 31, 2015. She does not need a
detailed listing of dates, times and activities only the two numbers for how
many education and service hours that you have accrued for the year. Her contact information is Pauline.Tiller@mail.wvu.edu or 304-743-7131. To assist you in recalling education and
service activities, the Executive Committee has prepared a partial listing of
some of the activities for the year.
This list was compiled from the calendar on our website (http://www.cabellcountymastergardeners.com)
and may assist you in recalling your education and service. The list is available on the link below and will
be printed for the November 10 meeting.
Please notify Pauline of your 2014-15 hours by November 30, 2015.
A number of
service opportunities will be presented for your consideration on November 10
including assisting with the MGIT class and advising gardens at Marcum Terrace,
Meadows Elementary and Explorer Elementary.
Debbie Martin
will begin collecting 2016 dues ($16 per member) at the November meeting and
will make plans for the December 5 Christmas Party and wreath making at Boyd
County’s Extension Office.

I will send a reminder out as the date for our November 10 meeting draws near but I wanted to send the above information for your consideration well in advance of the meeting.
Steve
