2007 Winter Meeting Notes.

The winter meeting was a great success with 14 people attending. The group decided to increase membership dues to $10.00, which should help off set the 300 dollar fee for joining the GPC.

The seed auction was a huge success again this year. Thanks to all of the growers who offered seeds.

We are planning a summer BBQ again this year with John & Kerry Young volunteering their house. Hopefully we will get enough local growers for a patch tour as well.

Our weigh off will again be held at 4-Seasons Garden Center in Williston. Save the date of October 6th, 2007. Hopefully the weather will cooperate again.

The group also decided to keep the plaques for the first 3 places. Ribbons will be provided mostly by our GPC membership, but others will be purchased for different categories.

We are planning on having a contest for best pumpkin carving as well. More details will follow as the date gets closer.

Jessica Landers is in the process of creating a new logo for the club.
