TPI NEWS WHAT TO KNOW
IT'S YOUR TIME TO GROW: 2018 MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS HAVE BEEN MAILED!
TPI Membership dues statements were mailed to all members at the end of May. If you do not receive your dues invoice in the mail, please contact TPI at 847-649-5555 and we can send you a new one. You can also log in to the TPI website and renew online. Remember that this statement will reflect a half-year of dues because of the recently-approved membership year change.
If you have questions about the membership renewal process, please contact Karen Cooper at
kcooper@TurfGrassSod.org or 847-649-5555. Thank you for your continued support of TPI and TLI.
ATTENTION SOD PRODUCERS WITH SECONDARY FARMS
Ensure that your local customers can find you.
Turfgrass producers who own and operate multiple farm locations can purchase a membership for their secondary farms for only $150. Secondary farm locations will receive the same benefits as primary locations including Turf News and a separate listing online and in the TPI Member Directory. Customers use the online listing to search by postal code, so be sure to list all of your locations to secure their business.
NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE TLI ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
Please consider including a donation for The Lawn Institute when you renew your membership dues. Your donations will enable TLI to continue promoting the industry by supporting education, turfgrass research, scholarships, and TLI’s new international marketing campaign.
Currently funded research projects include:
• Turfgrass Cooling Effects and Ability to Reduce Heat Islands and Energy Consumption • USGA/NTEP Cool-season and Warm-season Water-Use Trials • Environmental Impacts of Turfgrass Removal • Harvest Aids for Improved Shelf-life and Transplanting of Sod • TPI 120+ page Pest Management Guide for Weed, Insect, and Disease Control • Public Relations and Marketing Campaign for Natural Turfgrass
The new international marketing campaign will provide TPI members with professionally-designed tools they can use to promote their businesses in print and online and will result in a new TLI website that will help educate members of the public on the value of natural turfgrass.
