Re: [nafex] Re: Southern Fruit Fellowship Meeting

Dear Lostman,

     The good news is that we are still meeting in Florida, but the bad news is that the site and date have been changed.  A.J. Bullard has been working diligently on this and it appears that we will be in Tallahassee rather than Sarasota.  Ron Lambert was ill and could not host the meeting.  The dates will be around June 20-21, rather than in July.  The substance of the meeting will be very similar with some excellent orchard tours.  We should know all of the particulars and I will again put it out on the chat line.  It will also be in the SFF newsletter which comes out next month and in Pomona.

                                  Regards, Ethan
