YEAR END

 

Dear Friends of WNF&GA,
In the flurry of activity, avoiding colds and flu, shoveling snow and enjoying holiday gatherings, please know that you are in our thoughts with gratitude.
Volunteers within the organization continue work toward our 100th Annual meeting May 27 to June 1.  Word is that many plan to arrive to tour Winterthur on May 28.  Our workshops are shaping up to be an exciting hands on experience.  We are settled on The DoubleTree Hotel in Plymouth Meeting which has a special room rate for our meeting, including breakfast.  Reserve early with a friend to get a double bed suite.  This is a Hilton group hotel.  BE SURE TO ASK FOR THE SPECIAL WNF&GA RATE!

July News

July has been HOT!! in the Northeast, but Julia says her part of Ohio has just the right amount of rain for a fantastic corn crop.  How are things for you?
We have some new items for you to look at on the website, and a couple of recommendations.
  • Agriculture will track ‘Slow Food’ activity similar to our records for native plants.  Send a description of your activity, your local market or whatever has inspired you about finding food supplies nearby and share your enthusiasm.
  • Check out a new farm focused publication Modern Farmer available via this link: http://modernfarmer.com/magazine/issue-01-spring-2013/
  • Under the annual meeting tab, we posted a summary of the results gained from the survey members at the meeting completed.  Read their comments, then send us yours.
  • For anyone who wants to add her comments, the survey is posted under Annual Meeting.  You can print it, complete it, scan it and send back to yeagerrsue@yahoo.com or mail to Sue at 505 E. Willow Grove Ave.
  • SAVE THE DATE for travel to Philadelphia May 28 to June 1, 2014!

Attendees at the Annual Meeting

Thanks to Leslie Morris Smith who prepared a roster of attendees from the 2013 Annual meeting. Check it out in the members only section.  As a courtesy to all, our lists are only for personal and private use.  There should not be any bulk mailing, but use this to connect with your meeting companions.
If you need help with the member password, contact Dee Welsh or Susan Yeager.
The survey results were so helpful!  Expect to see them posted soon.  If you did not attend the meeting but would complete our survey, check for it under the Annual meeting tab.   When it is returned to Susan Yeager, you will receive a small gift in thanks for your time and thoughts.
Hope your gardens and farms grow magnificently and you stay cool.
Susan R. Yeager
