The Pennsylvania State University Turf Grass Alumni Association meeting in San Diego, on February 10th was a well-attended event, with brisk discussion on the future of the organization.
Discussions centered on where, when and what type of venue should the organization use in the future for our meetings. Please click on this link, https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CSHM9RT, these 6 questions will be centered on the future purpose of the group and will perhaps guide us in an appropriate direction for future meetings and our role to support Penn State turf initiatives for the coming years.
