VASCM: Next Meeting & BBQ July 16: Vine Disease Identification and Testing, at Hicks Vineyard, Corralitos

[Muns Vineyard]

Mark your calendars:
The next VASCM meeting is July 16 at Hicks Family Vineyard, Corralitos

3:00 - Speaker Judit Monis, Ph.D., from STA Labs 
<http://www.stalabs.com/> in Gilroy will talk about disease in the 
vineyard: viruses, fungus, symptoms, what to look for, testing.  STA 
Laboratories is a diagnostic laboratory for the seed and plant industry, 
and its Plant Health Services division provides disease detection and 
eradication services specifically for grapevines.  You can view articles 
written by Dr. Monis on the STA Labs website at 
http://www.stalabs.com/Grapevine_Testing/Grapevine_Testing.php

We may also have an in-vineyard workshop prior to the meeting time.  
Confirmation on this will be provided in a future message and in the 
newsletter, as well as directions to Hicks Vineyard. Hicks is on 
Pleasant Valley Rd., just past Hauer Apple Way, in Corralitos.

This will also be our summer bbq!  We are looking for volunteers to help 
with the bbq:
- shopping for food
- grillers for the bbq
- putting out the food
Please reply with your interest to help.

We look forward to seeing you in July!
