He was the husband of our member Pat Farmer. They have been members since 2010. Jerry was a very dedicated CCMGA member who was loved by all and will definitely be missed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our speakers,  introduced by our V.P. Hugh Nichols, were Sherry Carter, Jacob Turner, and Lucy Ellington. Sherry is with SNAP-ED program (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). She goes into all third grade school classes(except Clanton) of the Chilton County schools taking bags full of vegetables. fruits, and other goodies to help them learn better food choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacob Turner is an ACES Home Horticulture agent who covers home grounds, gardens, and pests. He told us about the areas he covers and some of his other assignments. He told about an event coming up at Penton Farms in February and  in March there is to be a seed starting workshop, details to be online soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, Lucy Ellington, our ACES extension Coordinator, talked about all the programs and projects available through the Extension Office.  There\u2019s the annual state Bee Keeper\u2019s symposium on February 1st, the Water Fest on March 21, the 4-H programs  which includes Cloverbuds, Horse Club, Chick Chain, Forestry program, Home School Club, and the Day and Summer Camp at the beautiful Alabama 4-H Center on Lay Lake in Shelby County. Master Gardeners often volunteer for many of these activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our V. President, Hugh Nichols, was nominated and awarded this month with our first ever Premier Peach Award. These people are chosen by the members for always going the extra mile in whatever they undertake to do for the club or for other members. They receive a certificate and Peach Pin.  Thank you,  Hugh, for all you do! And all members, please remember to recommend someone for this award at our February meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ballots were passed out for members to vote on Master Gardener of the Year and Service Project of the Year. Awards will be presented at the February meeting. Old and new business was discussed.  The meeting was adjourned at 12 noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1521\" height=\"1920\"
