I am a new member to the SNGPG and would like to know if there is a way to get the "back issued" newletters. I just finished the one from April 06 and found alot of usefull information. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

YES OKIE GAL, STEVE CONNOLLY IS A GODSENT TO OUR CLUB.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DONT REALIZE ITS VERY TIME CONSUMING AND A YEAR ROUND JOB FOR SEVERAL PEOPLE JUST KEEPING THESE PUMPKIN ORGANIZATION AFLOAT.

IF YOU WANT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST OUT THERE? AND RAISE ENOUGH FUNDING TO HOST A PREMIER WEIGH-OFF? YA GOTTA WORK EVEN HARDER.

EVENTUALLY WE ALL BURN OUT AND MOVE ON. I HAVE SEEN SOME VERY VERY GOOD PUMPKIN CLUBS GO UNDER JUST BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ONE TO PICK UP THE WORK LOAD AS OTHERS RETIRED.

I REMEMBER A GENTLEMAN NAMED "FARMER GUS" WHO WROTE THE BEST NEWSLETTERS OUT OF CANADA I HAS EVER READ. THEY WERE PUBLISHED JUST THE SAME AS A NEWSPAPER WOULD BE PRINTED. SAME PAPER ,ETC.
ONCE HE RETIRED? THE CLUB WAS NEVER THE SAME AGAIN.

WE HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE WITH THE SNGPG THAT THERE ARE A BUNCH OF US THAT PULL TOGETHER, ALL WITH A DIFFERENT ROLL.
HAVING GREAT PUMPKIN GROWER RESULTS THESE PAST FEW YEARS HAS NOT HURT EITHER.

RON W AND STEVE DO THE NEWSLETTERS, I DO THE PROMO FUNDRAISING AND CHARITY WORK, PETE RONDEAU DOES THE SEED AUCTION. JOE JUTRAS MANUFACTURES THOSE BEAUTIFUL HANDMADE AWARD PLAQUES, PLUS SEVERAL OTHER DIRECTORS ARE ALWAYS THERE TO LEND A HAND WITH EACH CLUB PROJECT.

IT TAKES A BUNCH OF WORKERS EACH AND EVERY YEAR. IM JUST ENJOYING IT WHILE IT LASTS.

I still have 3 years of the St. Lawrence growers newsletters in a folder. I just can't bring myself to get rid of them. Before I had internet connection Al Eaton's yearly wrap up in it was all I had to go on as which seed was best.
