<p class="MsoNormal">Hello MA Chestnuteers!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This Saturday, Charlotte Zampini will be leading the
inoculation of the Medway orchard in Medway, MA. This orchard has over
100 trees ready to inoculate and we could really use your help! Ideally,
12-15 people would make quick work of this important task. So far only
about 6 people have confirmed that they will be able to help, so if you plan to
be there please let Charlotte know. She plans to get things started at
9:00 am and with enough people the job should be done by noon. If you can
come, even for a short time, your help would be much appreciated. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The forecast is calling for a bright, sunny day so it should
be a great day to work outside. And the more people show up, the faster
everyone can get finished up with the orchard work and on to enjoying the
day. This is a very nice orchard to work in and would be a great place to
get some experience inoculating. This is the last inoculation planned for
this year, so if you’ve been hoping to help the chapter in the field,
this would be the time.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Water, drinks and snacks will be provided. Please
dress for the field. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope you can make it!</p>
