The annual Christmas Party will be on December 2 at 6:30 p.m. at the Congregational Church.Â Â  A sign-up sheet was passed around to bring either an appetizer or a dessert.Â

Â

On December 7, AMGA will co-sponsor (with NMMGA) the final session of the MSUE Master Gardener Training being held 6-10pm at the University Center Gaylord. The second half of Monday's class will be devoted to "Intro to Volunteering". Along with volunteering options being presented, the two Associations will have the opportunity to inform 47 new MGV Trainees about their organizations and invite Trainees to join. All members of AMGA are invited to attend to get acquainted with the Newbys and help celebrate their accomplishments thus far in the Program. Contact Jeanne to offer assistance with snacks.

Erin Mann volunteered to run as secretary and Sharie Plain agreed to be on the board as vice president.Â  The Association will vote on these members at our December meeting, December 2.

Â

Karen Blewett presented the idea of inviting past members and those interested in becoming members in AMGA to sign on as associate members or alumni members.Â  A lively discussion followed.Â  This topic will be brought up again at our meeting inÂ  January.

Â

Thanks to Cathy Campbell and Ursula Owens for the tasty snacks.Â
