We
hope that all members, especially those who have not shown their ponds in recent
years and/or never before, will consider joining the pond tour this year. It's
a great experience to share your pond and gardens with all your visitors. We would
like to have 20 ponds per area; last year we had 70 ponds. Those members in the
south area please consider joining this year as we only had 10 ponds last year.
So signup and let's make this year's tour even better than last year's.
Please
send me an email with your name, address, a brief description of your pond and
yard, and directions to your house from a major intersection; also list other
special items such as night hours or any other special features. There will be
a form on our website that
you can download and attach to an email to me. Or create a word file in the same
format and also attach to an email. My email address is bill@mpks.org,
or pondtour@mpks.org.
Thanks
in advance for everybody's help and support.
