Looking Forward L
ooking forward is something that we all do. It has been said that it is always better to look forward rather than look behind. That is especially true when it comes to this past winter. Although it hasn’t been the bitter cold temperatures that we have gotten in the past winters in the Memphis area, I’m sure that everyone would agree that it has been one of the wettest winters that we have had to deal with. For that reason, a warm dry spring is something that I surely am looking forward to. I am also looking forward to another
great year of events within the Memphis area association. We have scheduled a combination of speakers that I believe will enhance our knowledge in the turfgrass industry. We also have social events planned that are always a time for good food and fellowship among our peers. These events are always a good opportunity for you to introduce yourself and meet any new members that have joined for the first time. It is also a time to reach out to anyone that you haven’t seen in a while and invite them
to a meeting. We are all in this together so making more contacts will help someday down the road. We are also working on a volunteer opportunity this year for the WGC Tournament so that our association can show our support for the great event that is coming to our area. Let’s leave this cold and wet weather behind us and look forward to another great year.
