<p>For better or for worse, 2016 is coming to an end. Have you completed your volunteer and continuing education hours?</p>
<p>To remain an active Master Gardener volunteer, you are required to complete 30 hours of volunteer service and 10 hours of continuing education hours annually. Master Gardener Interns are required to complete a 60-hour internship prior to committing to the annual hour requirements.</p>
<p>Why you should report all your hours (not just the minimum)?</p>
<ul>
<li>So you will be eligible for awards</li>
<li>So you can amaze your friends with the number of hours you have logged</li>
<li>So our funders can see just how fantastic MGs are and how much they do in the community</li>
</ul>
<p>Please record any volunteer hours by year end (<strong>December 31, 2016</strong>). Visit the <a style="color: #4276aa;" href="https://illinois.edu/emailer/forward2/7259686?emailAddress=ccmg-announce@lists.communitylists.org&orderId=3"><em style="color: #4276aa;">Volunteer Hour Reporting</em></a> webpage to review how to record your hours.</p>
<p>The only way we know that hours have been earned is if you report them. These hours are also submitted to the state to support funding. If you need help with the reporting process, contact Horticulture Program Coordinator, Ava Heap at 333-7672 or <a style="color: #4276aa;" href="mailto:carmien2@illinois.edu"><span style="color: #4276aa;">carmien2@illinois.edu</span></a> for assistance.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table><style xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:math="http://exslt.org/math" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

<p>In order to remain a part of the University of Illinois Extension Master Naturalist Program, one must submit an annual 2017 Volunteer Agreement. Master Gardener Interns who are still working on completing their internships do not have to sign this agreement as the training agreement signed is sufficient until active volunteer status is achieved.</p>
<p>Please complete and return your agreement by <strong>Monday, January 9</strong>. You may mail, email, or hand deliver the agreement to</p>
<p>Follow <a style="color: #4276aa;" href="https://illinois.edu/emailer/forward2/7259687?emailAddress=ccmg-announce@lists.communitylists.org&orderId=4"><span style="color: #4276aa;">this link </span></a>for a digital version of the agreement to sign.</p>
<p>The form can also be found on our website: <a style="color: #4276aa;" href="https://illinois.edu/emailer/forward2/7259688?emailAddress=ccmg-announce@lists.communitylists.org&orderId=5"><span style="color: #4276aa;">http://go.my.illinois.edu/mgforms</span></a></p>
<p>If we do not receive an agreement by Monday, January 9, we will assume that you are no longer interested in the program and your status will be declared Inactive. After that time, you are welcome to contact me to change your status and become an active Master Naturalist.</p>
<p>If you have questions about the agreement, submitting volunteer hours, or getting reacquainted with the Master Gardener program, please call me at 333-7672.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table><table xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:math="http://exslt.org/math" style="border: none; width: 100%;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td style="padding: 0; line-height: 12px; width: 100%;"> </td></tr></tbody></table><table xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:math="http://exslt.org/math" style="width: 100%;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td style="background: #000000; font-size: 1px; padding: 0; line-height: 1px; height: 1px;"> </td></tr></tbody></table><table xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:math="http://exslt.org/math" style="border: none; width: 100%;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td style="padding: 0; line-height: 12px; width: 100%;"> </td></tr></tbody></table><style xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:math="http://exslt.org/math" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
