ANNUAL REPORT<br>
Every year the Master Gardener Program reports on our successes as
educators in the community. The 2006 report is due soon after the New
Year. The Annual Report consists of the numbers behind the program; the
number of visitors to each of the offices, the number of phone calls for
the Horticulture Hotlines, etc. I invite all the Master Gardeners
to send short, concise examples of how you see the Master Gardener
Program impacting the Community. This will give a voice to the numbers to
truly tell the story of the Master Gardeners in Maricopa County. Please
email me your thoughts, as well as relate anything you have heard from
the public in your duties as a Master Gardener in 2006. <br><br>
Thanks for all your help and all your support. Here's to fantastic
2007!<br><br>
