VASCM: Registration Open - Feb. 20 UC Davis Viticulture Program Coming Here to the SC Mts.

[Mary Lindsay]

Hello, everyone:

As previously notified, speakers from UC Davis are coming to the Santa 
Cruz Mountains with a program of viticulture topics on Feb. 20. This is 
a great opportunity to hear about their research pertinent to our region 
- and here at home. You don't have to drive all the way to Davis, and it 
is only $30.

The official notice is coming shortly, but in the mean time, we have the 
location and other details, including a link for registration. Advance 
registration is required to attend this meeting /(see the registration 
link below)/. Seating space is limited, so register early. Take off from 
work if you need to so you don't miss it!

This is a little different than our usual VASCM meetings, but I hope you 
will take advantage of this opportunity. Thank you, and see you on the 
20th.
