MICHIANA EVENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
1) Michigan Wine Grape Vineyard Establishment Conference
2) Student Volunteer Opportunity
1) Michigan Wine Grape Vineyard Establishment Conference
Many existing fruit growers and new farmers looking to enter Michigan's wine industry want more grape-growing knowledge. A wine grape establishment conference will be held by Michigan State University Extension January 21-22, 2014 at three locations using a webinar hybrid format to address this interest. The program agenda calls for speakers from five states to address basic topics such as marketing, site selection, varieties, establishment costs, planting stock, site preparation, planting and care, trellis construction, and pest management in Benton Harbor, Traverse City, and Novi.
An optional informational pre-conference session will help new grape growers better understand the basics of how the plant grows, pest management concepts, soil fertility, and terminology.
The detailed agenda and registration information may be found at http://events.anr.msu.edu/winegrape14/
The registration fee is $115 for the basic conference and $25 for the pre-conference introduction. Space is limited, so pre-registration and payment is required by January 10, 2014 or until full. No walk-in registrations will be accommodated.
MSU is an affirmative-action, equal-opportunity employer. Michigan State University Extension programs and materials are open to all without regard to race, color, national origin, gender identity, religion, age, height, weight, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, marital status, family status or veteran status. Accommodations for persons with disabilities may be requested by calling Joanne Davidhizar at 269-944-4126 ten days prior to the conference to ensure sufficient time to make arrangements. Requests after this date will be met when possible. The Wine Grape Establishment Conference is sponsored by Viticulture and Enology Science Technology Alliance (VESTA), and the MSU Product Center and the MSU Institute of Agriculture Technology.
2) Student Volunteer Opportunity
Hello my name is Kevin Verstraeten with the Playing with Purpose Scholarship program.
The PWP program is part of SportQuest Ministries located on the West side of Indianapolis. We are a 501 C-3 nonprofit organization focused to recognize and award Christian high school student athletes. Our goal is to identify outstanding Christian student athletes and invite them to travel on short term sport mission expeditions internationally or domestically.
In order to be more effective in spreading this news nationwide we are looking for people willing to volunteer their time to help us to find the contact information of school administrators. There are many Christian student athletes that are missing out on this opportunity. Our mission is to extend an invitation to all schools all over the United States.
This is what we would need our volunteers to do.
Our project would be to find a Guidance Counselor (10-12th grade) and the Athletic Director of every school in the country. We would send the student a list of all schools in one state. The student would then find the school website and copy the name and email address from these two administrators and paste the information in to the document.
If you have a high school aged student that would be interested in this; please let them contact us at 317-270-9495 or by email: kevin.verstraeten@sportquest.org All volunteers will receive a document stating the total amount of hours volunteered.
