Life is Short

I am writing this commentary on a plane to Seattle with my brother, sister and 79-year-old mom. Once we arrive in Seattle, we will be boarding a ship to take an Alaskan cruise. They have never been on a cruise before and I am totally excited to share this experience with them. I am equally excited to see a new area of the United States and meet new people. The Tennessee Turfgrass Association is also about meeting new people and learning new ways to improve our products. That’s why you need to take advantage of going to events like UT Field Day. If you did not attend this event in August, then you missed out not only on a great educational opportunity but a wonderful networking opportunity as well. Plus, the weather could not have been better.

Our annual conference is January 6–8, 2020 and it will be here before we know it. Your board of directors and committees have been working hard to make sure that this is the best conference yet. Check out the schedule a few pages over. It is packed full and there is something for everyone. We have a great showing of vendors who will be there to show you the latest and greatest products as well as the most up-to-date equipment on the market. Please bring your co-workers, friends and even your competition. This is a conference that you will not want to miss.

Life is too short to miss out on opportunities. Be sure to take the time to take advantage of the opportunities that come your way.

Live life and have a great fall.
