Happy Spring! 

There's always something new, isn't there?  Today I noticed that our Pest Notes Flyer was from a 2009 version and voila!  I found a new version!  Thankfully the Pest Notes are constantly being updated so we have the latest and best information to pass along to the community.

I highly recommend keeping multiple copies of this list of current Pest Notes at all of the Master Gardener Events.  It's an easy hand-out to use when helping people with gardening or pest questions, just circle the topics that they need to look, then they can log into the website and read the Pest Notes online.  It saves paper and prevents us from having left over wasted copies at community events.  Plus our file boxes were HEAVY!

On another note, it's important to not only check our internal VMS calendar for volunteer and education opportunities, but to check out our public website!  Leann works really hard and up to the last minute to keep it current and Chris posts new articles into our blog to make the website interesting and always changing.  It's always good to know what we are telling the public.  Please feel free to pass this link to your friends, families and the general public, especially working at Farmer's Market, the Advice to Grow By workshops or answering questions on the Helpline.  Remember our goal is to reach the community- so promote our website!

For those of you who need the website address, here it is! http://groups.ucanr.org/slomg/
