Minutes 10/23/2012

First off, turf club apparel is finally here and can be picked up in my office (Room 54, across for the head house). Please have a check or exact cash. I won't have any change.

Second, as I stated at last weeks meeting, we will be applying herbicide at Reiman Gardens this Thursday afternoon at 4:00pm. We need as many certified applicators as possible. If you are not certified and would like extra hours, we will have other things that need to be done besides spraying.

Now that most people have scheduled their classes for next semester, please come sign up for volunteering at the ITI Conference. I have the sheets down in my office. This is a great way to network with professionals from within the industry.

The ITI is currently in the process of relocating their office from Ames to Ankeny. I met with Jeff Wendel today and he is looking for help moving out of their Ames office this Thursday morning. The moving truck will arrive at 9:00 in the morning. Anyone who helps out will receive entry to the conference. I will be there and it would be great for the turf club to help out.

Meeting Minutes 10/9/2012

Montreux Internship: Montreux is looking for 2 interns for 3-6 months. They also have an assistant position open. Check previous emails form Dr. Christians for more information about the positions.

Reiman App: We will be doing a fertilizer app on Thursday 10/11 at 4:00pm. We had about 15 people say they could be there, the more the quicker we can get it done! These hours will count toward GCSAA and STMA trips. Those who are certified applicators, look for an email from Dan about putting down herbicide toward the end of the month.

ITI Conference: Looking for volunteers on Jan 29th-31st. Volunteering for 3 hours will get you into the rest of the conference for FREE. If you were unable to attend the meeting and are interested in volunteering, shoot Dan an email.

GCSAA: It's time to start thinking about becoming a member as soon as possible. If you need to renew your membership, those applications HAVE to be faxed in.

Blog sites: Keep checking out the blog sites for posts, also all scholarship applications are posted on there. There is A LOT of money out there, so apply for as many as you are qualified for. See Dr. Christians if you have questions.
