WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW? APRIL IS... NATIONAL LAWN CARE MONTH
April is National Lawn Care Month! Are you ready to help promote this campaign and take advantage of the promotional resources available to you? Be prepared to promote lawns and natural grass. Watch for promotional materials and assorted infographics on TPI’s social media accounts and in the TPI E-newsletter that you can use to spread the word on the benefits of lawns. See pages 36-37 for more information.
WHAT TO KNOW TPI MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS HAVE BEEN MAILED
Membership renewal statements for 2019 were mailed in late November. If you did not receive your statement, please contact the TPI office at 847-649-5555 or Karen Cooper at
kcooper@TurfGrassSod.org. Included in the renewals this year is a membership listing. TPI staff is updating the database to make it easier for potential customers to find a TPI member who sells the products they need! Turfgrass producer members are asked to review and update the types of grasses sold and industry partners are asked to update their product listings. All members should also review the names of all individuals associated with their businesses and provide email addresses for each so that we may stay in touch about TPI events and initiatives.
This is the first year that TPI membership is based on the calendar year, as approved by a membership vote at the 2018 International Education Conference & Field Day in Tucson in February 2018. Half-year renewals were sent in June 2018 for the period covering July 1, 2018-December 31, 2018. All membership renewals will be on a calendar year basis going forward.
SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS ANNOUNCED
Please join TPI in congratulating the 2019 Henry W. Indyk Scholarship winners, sponsored by The Lawn Institute. Sara Lechlider of Laytonsville Landscaping, Inc., is the winner of the four-year scholarship. Krysta Bouchard of Kingston Turf Farms has won the one-year scholarship. We are proud to be assisting these young women with their education and we look forward to seeing the contributions they bring to the turfgrass industry in the future. Look for an article about the recipients in the May/ June issue of Turf News.
