CFPACS has been running a little low right now, but I've volunteered to run the club. I'm not the best organizer but am looking for a stronger year in 2012. We put out one newsletter in July and putting another out this Month. I would like to use the Dec.10th meeting to get better organized and plan out 2012 with dates with meetings/tours/sales. Our next meeting will be Dec.10th. Two gardens in Brevard County. Neil Y. in the morning and then mine in the afternoon. More details to follow. You can contact me through my email address. I'll post more later. David Reid damy5@juno.com
