News as of Today...

A few important updates regarding the upcoming Region 2 Great Lakes Gathering:

1.  Due to massive construction in the area, The Schmith Family Garden has been removed from the Open Garden Listing.   They send their apologies for any inconvenience this may cause and still look forward to seeing you at the meeting!

2.  There are only about 100 spots left for you to be a part of the big event!  Get your registration in now.  Do not wait any longer!

3.  The steering committee had its full walkthrough at the hotel last week and the excitement is building!  The remodeled lobby is complete, and it is stunning and modern.  You will enjoy your stay!

4.  Hospitality Suite arrangements are being made by Diane Pruden.  Each night we will open the doors for the "after-hours" fun on the top floor of the hotel.  Everyone with a meeting nametag is welcome to join the party in Room 1412.  Do plan on bringing a snack or potluck item to contribute.  You may also bring bottles of wine for the suites.

5.  Dan Bachman and his team of wonderful garden judges instructors will lead the way on our Garden Judges Training Bus!  If you would like to take this training from the region's best instructor on this topic, please sign up quick and let the registrar know you wish to take Garden Judges I training.

6.  Bob Scott (our Topguns friend from Region 11) has donated plants to be used on our bus trip!  Fun ways to use these plants are in the works!

Please join us for the party of the year!  It all starts in about 70 days...get your registration in now!
