Master Composter Volunteer Opportunities
It has been almost a year since you completed your Master Composter training. You also committed to doing 30 hours of volunteer time. Since this is the first year of the program, Ron has suggested that we use September 15 as a deadline for completing and submitting your hours. We will have your badges and certificates ready for you at the October 24 Master Gardeners monthly meeting.
The following are volunteer opportunities. Not all of them will be before September 15.

2006 Compost Bin Sale
Please keep Saturday, August 19 open for the 2006 Bin Sale. We will need 8 volunteers at each of the three locations: Ag School, Garfield Park and North Park Nature Center.This will be a good way to earn at least 6 hours, maybe more.
