UMass Turf Club Thanks NESTMA! April 12, 2019 Dear NESTMA Members: First, we would like to thank the New England Sports Turf Manager’s Association for their generous donation which was used for the [UMass] Turf Club’s trip to the STMA Conference in Phoenix. While in Phoenix, the team participated in the Seminar on Wheels. This seminar gave us an amazing, in-depth look at State Farm Stadium, Camelback Ranch, and Arizona State University’s Sun Devil Stadium. We were blown away by the quality and professionalism of all three venues. In addition to the seminar, we toured the conference trade show and saw new industry equipment and resources. Finally, the team participated in the STMA Student Challenge, and although we did not win, we were pleased with our results, as it was the first time three of the four of us had ever competed in such an event. Phoenix was an extremely welcoming site for the conference, and we look forward to sending a team to the STMA Conference again next year. Thank you to NESTMA again, your generosity is appreciated greatly. Sincerely, Josh Fortier John Timothy Locke Renee DeAngelis Matthew Campbell
