this time when we are not able to meet. Take advantage and benefit from 
this valuable resource that is being made available to VASCM members. 
Here are some more benefits and further follow-up to the Zoom meeting we 
had with Fritz Westover a week ago:

- The *links have been activated**to two webinars* on the VVA's *Free 
Trial Page* 
<https://www.virtualviticultureacademy.com/be-a-better-grape-grower/> 
for our members: on *Pruning*, and the *Pre-Bloom Canopy Management & 
Vine Training Field Course*. We announced this last week but you may 
have noticed that the links were missing. They are now there and you can 
view the videos. The Pre-Bloom Canopy Management course includes:
         - shoot thinning: which shoots stay and which go, when and why
         - early season canopy management and leaf removal demonstration
         - timing of canopy management to improve efficiency  .
The *Free Trial Page* 
<https://www.virtualviticultureacademy.com/be-a-better-grape-grower/>

this month is at

the participants. Topics addressed include:
