<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>V: Garden Walk</em></strong></span></p>
<p><strong>***This original message was sent Friday, April 17***</strong></p>
<p><strong>Saturday, June 20</strong>, is this year’s date for our celebrated Garden Walk - and it is fast approaching. Since Garden Walk is our only event to raise funds that support all of our activities, we certainly want to insure its ongoing success. And for that, assistance is needed from the entire Master Gardener community – especially YOU! </p>
<p>Please volunteer to help with one (or both) of the following activities:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Garden Angels </strong>help with light garden work at the Garden Walk sites (such as raking, weeding, mulching), in order to get them looking their best for the big day. <br /> The work will be done <em>before</em> the Garden Walk (mostly between June 1 and June 19). A few Garden Angels will be assigned to a specific garden; others will be part of a <br /> pool who will be contacted as needed. </li>
</ul>
<p>Some Garden Angels also may be needed earlier than usual (maybe in April and May) for work at the Pollinatarium site.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Site Volunteers</strong> work at the Garden Walk sites <em>on the day of</em> Garden Walk to help greet and guide visitors, answer questions, and assist the Site Chairs and homeowner.<br /> Site Volunteers will be assigned to a specific home/garden for a morning or afternoon shift. They also have the opportunity to visit the garden and meet with the Site Chairs prior to the Garden Walk.</li>
</ul>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>V: Horticulture Hotline</em></strong></span></p>
<p>The Horticulture Hotline is open and calls are steadily coming in! We need your help! The Horticulture Hotline is one of the best ways to get involved, get immersed, and LEARN. Two Master Gardeners can sign up for each shift, so bring a buddy!</p>
