*********************************
To all project leads: the VCE office is required to obtain an updated project proposal form annually for ALL Master Gardener projects. You will NOT be able to receive volunteer hours if your project doesn't have an approved proposal form. This includes plant clinics, demonstration gardens, educational talks, events, etc. A new project proposal form has been released from the State EMG office, which is attached to this email. If you're a project lead, please take a moment to fill out the project proposal form (below) so Grace and I can get your projects approved. Make sure to include the educational aspect of your project!
