January Is Just Around The Corner

November 15, 2017 by Andy

At this moment. Right now. There is a Christmas tree sitting in my living room. Fully assembled. Decorated. But I refuse to turn it on in protest that it’s not even Thanksgiving yet (can you tell it wasn’t my decision to put it up?). People get in too big a hurry for the next thing on the calendar.

Here’s where I turn into a hypocrite: it’s time to start getting EXCITED about the Master Wellness Volunteer Program Statewide Training beginning 23 January.

Registration is now open at https://agriliferegister.tamu.edu/MWV Click on the Statewide Training Cohort and sign up to be a part of something BIG (see post directly below). Once registered, the County Extension Agent for your county will be in touch regarding the particulars of what the training will look like in your area: where to go, what to do, how to recruit more of your friends to participate!

If you have questions or need additional information about the training, send an email to mwv@ag.tamu.edu and we’ll connect you with your County Extension Agent.

And because I may not talk to you again before 23 January: Enjoy Thanksgiving, Best Wishes for a Wondrous Holiday Season, Peace and Joy in the New Year and a VERY Happy Master Wellness Volunteer Statewide Training!
