Hello SRTGGA Members,
Wow 2011 has it been a busy year!
We trust you had a good growing season.
I know a number of our members had bumper crops this year.
The season was a bit delayed due to the wet spring, but most of our vineyards catch up at the end of the season.
It is once again time to have our Annual Members Meeting.
It is very important that you attend and participate in this meeting.
We will have a number of offices that will be up for election.
Your participation and leadership is critical in making this organization one that will
be of most help in supporting our member growers. We still have a number of issues to solve for our growers.
Please come and be a part of the solution.
Here are just some key issues that still need to be solved as a group in the future.
- Opening new markets for other varieties of grapes.
