7. Also, if there Is any specific subject on which you would like some information, after the meeting check it out in one of the above 3 publications.

8. Kinko’s was without power to print “July in Your Garden” so this printout of the agenda and the attached  will be first  . Table of Contents and text.  Highlight things you would like to do, and make notes of them in the Table of Contents for your easy reference. Then when you are home, review the Table of Contents one more time before you put it away.  Otherwise you will probably forget some key things you wanted to do. Also, I would suggest you file these in a 3-ring binder for reference.  This will be a handy reference for the entire year.

NOTES: Use back of this sheet.
