which are available upon request.
Payment for the March 7 Garden Expectations can be made at tonight’s

who hadn’t paid their dues yet which were due October 2008. This causes a
problem with the insurance along with having to write and send out several
checks to state when members are delinquent. Possibly in the future, those in
arrears may be contacted by email to avoid all the extra work.

Carol also brought in the volunteer sign-up sheets and flyers. The plants are all growing well. The herbs are all organic. The plant budget is $12,000. Volunteers are needed for planting and potting for the sale. Do your own potting about 3 weeks before the sale so they have time to recoup. Kathy Baum has soil. If you need help digging, call Carol.

He also brought an article from the 1981 Farm Progress Days in Kaukauna at which time he asked for a round of applause for Cathy Schwieso for her hard work as Historian.

Treasurer’s Report: Pam Hagan reported approximately $40,000 in the treasury.
WIMGA At Large: Lynn Coffeen not present.
Education Chair: Kathy Baum informed us that the October speaker she wanted is already booked. So, she asked for ideas. It was suggested to get Brian Schmalz to speak on “Putting your garden to bed for the winter.” Someone also suggested arranging planters for the season. That would be an extra class activity.
Kathy asked for ideas for next year’s meetings. There were many ideas, such as, Bill Hartling on roses, Lee Hansen from the Green Bay Botanical Gardens, someone from Robinson’s Floral, Marion Books on floral arranging, a photography class, Kevin Jarek on keeping lawns organic, someone on a spiritual sense of gardening, Kevin Jarek on no-till gardening, Peterson compost, and Tammy Gordon on nature in the yard.
Kathy also announced that to have a contest of sorts would require having identical 4 x 8 garden plots. They would have the same plantings and light. Only one plot would be totally organic. This could involve having Jim Beard come and talk about making compost tea.
Kathy said they are going to try to develop a Speaker’s Bureau, which would include having 3 or 4 sessions on using a Power Point.
Kathy told of a young home schooled girl who has entered the horticultural program. She needed and received $300.00.
It was suggested that someone teach “How to use the electronic voting” before it is needed again.
Kathy also announced that Kevin Jarek has received his tenure. He is now an Associate Professor Kevin Jarek.
They will be checking into giving mini courses on plants, gardening, etc. This will be done at schools or children’s activities. If anyone knows of a school or organization they think would be interested in this, notify the Education Committee. Of course, schools would have to give their permission and/or cooperation, as would any organization.

Plant Committee Chair: Carol Vande Berg announced that she would be resigning as Director of the plant sale. Jackie Rickel will be taking over Carol’s position. They plan on reorganizing with more subcommittees and eventually a new co-chair.
The plant sale grossed about $19,000 ($10,000 profit) with $15,000 needed for next year’s plant sale. Carol will compile and itemized list of credits and debits on the plant sale so everyone will know how the money is spent.
There were enough Hostas, Irises and Daylilies left for next year. If anyone would like to be on one of these sub-committees, please let the committee know.
Not using a tent was found to be easier this year. So was labeling and pricing Kathy Baum’s and other people’s plants at Kathy’s home. Members thought the pricing and labeling worked very well at the sale.
However, there was some confusion when the plants went to ½ price or 2 for 1. It was suggested that they should not have to be the same plant. Also, there should be only 1 person (the Chair) giving any changes to be made in the pricing. Carol has a folder for suggestions. If anyone has a suggestion, please submit it to the Plant Sale Committee.
Sally Jaeger-Altekruse started a lot of the plants before
she ended up at AMC. She is now at Froedterts in

a fun time we had at the September Pot Luck party!

had no idea we would celebrate his TENure and our TEN
YEAR anniversary at the same time. He has no secrets any more, as our MGVs told on him.

foretold, not to mention the good taste in adult beverages.

celebrate our 10th, all paid-up members will receive a water bottle

Communication Chair: Colleen Reed announced that the newsletter will be out the 1st week of December. The mass email seems to be going out fine. They are still looking for a backup for Jan Sommerfeld. Right now they are trying to come up with a photo release. This would be an “okay” to put your picture in the newsletter or on the website. Hopefully, these will be ready by the January meeting. Each member would have to sign one. If your name appears on the website, anyone can use it to search on. Mary Learman congratulated the committee on their new format. It is very easy to read on line and save paper.
Member At-Large:
Chris Schaefer informed the members that we will need a few more members

mornings. The Pot Recycling Project will

Kevin said that he will need a lot of backup in 2012 as he will be the Executive Secretary of The Farm Technology Days. Denise Vander Zanden's assistance is invaluable and absolutely essential, but she can use some help. Sounds like a great way for us MGs to pick up a few extra support hours. We certainly hope so as she has been an extremely valuable person to all of us.
Kevin bought a book, “Put to the Chase,” from which he read some words of wisdom and inspirational quotes.
Kevin brought a clip on the 1996 Holmgren Days where some of the Packers are their children, dressed up for Halloween and went to Mike Holmgren’s house trick or treating. Very Cute.
Mary
Learman told the group to let them know if they need more hours. Ask early in the summer. They will let you know which members have
projects where help is needed. You can
get Education and Support hours from the meetings which are acceptable, Radio
and TV Programs that are approved. Count
every hour and travel time for support.
