Hi Lloyd

 

Thanks - I'm up for an in-person meeting this year, especially if you can arrange a tour.  I'm vaccinated and hankering for opportunities to see friends and colleagues and see what you're up to in Oregon.

 

Too many Zoom meetings in my life at the moment!

 

My best

John

Hi Jim and all,

We’ve been debating of course with continued uncertainty regarding travel policies.

 

What we are thinking is still having Oregon as the location, since it was canceled last year.  It seems that Farwest will be hosting a hybrid conference this year.  I propose we do the same.

 

Farwest is August 18-20.  I can host a hybrid business meeting on Tuesday, Aug 17^th. For people who travel, we can in person and we can zoom the meeting too for those who cannot attend in person.

 

I know OAN/FarWest is not doing tours.  But if we can get permission from my University, and growers,  I would be glad to organize a day of nursery tours, I’m picturing a couple of vans on Wed. 18^th or Thurs. 19^th.  Note the tour aspect is a big IF at this point.  Oregon is just slightly opening up from COVID restrictions now. For example, kids are going back to school very limited (couple hours a week) this week. Restaurants are now taking limited indoor eating, and Oregon State is teaching through zoom and has travel restrictions, with some exemptions. Ag workers have recently be approved for vaccines and signs are looking positive though.

 

Sound like a plan?

 

People can email me directly if they will likely be attending in person.

 

Lloyd
