[MassChestnutOrchards] New England Regional TACF Meeting - March 20

[Kendra Gurney]

Hello New England TACF!

 

This is a reminder about the New England Regional TACF meeting to be held on
Saturday, March 20th.  The meeting should be a great chance to share ideas
and experiences with your neighboring chapters, as well as a chance ask
questions or see how others have approached similar issues.

 

Please RSVP to me (Kendra at acf.org) if you plan to attend, as I will be
putting some materials together for attendees to look over before the
meeting.  I have received an RSVP from many of you already, but if you plan
to attend and have not been in touch, please let me know we should expect
you.  We will be discussing a few topics with background documents I will be
sending out, and our conversations will be more productive if attendees have
had a chance to look through these materials ahead of time.  I plan to send
out meeting materials to all who have RSVP'd, including directions, by
Friday, March 12.

 

Please pass this invite along to others I may have missed.  This meeting is
open to all, however I don't anticipate spending too much time on
introductory material.  It would be great to have a few board members and
orchard managers from each chapter in attendance.  I do hope the meeting
will be a forum for sharing experience, which could be very useful to
newcomers, and I encourage anyone interested to join us.  I hope to see you
there!
