Extension Crawford County



Crawford County Master Gardeners Membership Meeting MinutesAugust 14, 201914 members in attendance On-Line RecordingThe new reporting systems will provide more meaningful and immediate information on our local and statewide efforts. All projects will eventual be load in the system and hours will be recorded relative to the projects. Two attachments to this email give basic steps on how to complete hours. A suggestion to make it easier is to consolidate hours weekly, instead of daily, for the same project. You can enter a block of time for the entire week. If you want to group hours, please do not group more than a month at a time. You do not need to breakout driving hours but can leave them in place if already entered. Please record ALL hours…not just the minimum required. This impacts funding for our programs.This takes time so don’t wait until the last minute. Hours need to be reported by 9/30/2019.Dates thru October9/4 Board Meeting9/11 Membership Meeting (Octoberfest discussion!)9/14 WIMGA Superstar Training session in Madison – fee $15.00 (CE hours!)
