<p class="MsoNormal">Champaign County Master Gardeners, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for an incredible service to the Champaign County community. Garden Walk 2016 was a complete success, and it is all because of you, our incredible Master Gardener volunteers! Mother Nature smiled upon us and provided a glorious
day complete with a swarm of honeybees at Urban Gardens and a momma-bird feeding her yougin’s all afternoon at the Fisher’s garden.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The beautiful day brought droves of eager gardeners with an accounted 1,470 attendees! I’ve heard from numerous participants both during Garden Walk in the weeks passed that they were thankful and impressed by the knowledge, expertise and
kindness of Master Gardeners! Thank you for offering your service. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you haven’t sent in your tickets money for Garden Walk, you may still do so. Drop off yours or mail it to the Champaign University of Illinois Extension office: 801 North Country Fair Drive, Suite D so our income keeps on increasing.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your incredible dedication and “helping others learn to grow.” Your desire, diligence, and devotion is inspiring!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for all you do, and as always, happy gardening!<o:p></o:p></p>
