January 2012
Dear NATGA Members,
Happy New Year. I hope everyone had a great holiday season. Let’s hope 2012 will be our truffle year. I really can’t believe that it’s already time for our annual meeting. Debbie has been after me to write this for sometime, I guess I can’t put this off any longer. The registration form is on the webpage; please complete it as soon as possible. Also attached is the ever changing menu for our dinner which will be held at the Flint Hill Vineyard in East Bend. My brother Chef Phil has graciously volunteered to cook for us, he is bringing two of his Sous-chefs to assist, and our only charges will be to cover their travel expenses and supplies.
At the meeting in January:
- Discuss any open agenda topics from the meeting in August. Also any changes to dues, by-laws, membership for 2013.
- The officer’s positions up for election are Vice President and Treasurer
- Session for sharing information regarding, problems, challenges solutions or any other concerns regarding our farms.
- Presenters are on types of lime and their application, Eastern Filbert Blight, Land Conservatory of NC, up coming Truffle Fest in Ashville.
- We are attempting a video conference with people from Oregon, California and British Columbia so that we may exchange any ideas and challenges of truffle production in an attempt to make NATGA truly an organization that represents truffle growers from around the entire US.
See you soon,
Jack Ponticelli
President NATGA 2011-12
