Fred and Sharon have three children, Thomas, Sarah, and Susan. I am pleased to report a successful annual general meeting. I have heard many favourable comments on the topics selected, the speakers, and the beautiful Niagara Falls setting. The Executive will be selecting a location for the 2002 Annual Meeting in the near future. Ten of the 11 new regions created in 2000 are now up and operating.
Most regions now have a regional newsletter in circulation.
We encourage you to attend some of these regional events to meet more Soil and Crop members from neighbouring associations. We encourage you to consider planning a project for members using these grants. Be sure to have your plot information posted this spring as soon as the plot is planted. Post results when the harvest is complete. Planning meetings are happening across the province for the spring season.
