Dear fellow LWGA members.
I am sorry to have to announce that we will have to cancel our planned general meeting on March 29, 2020, special topic of Vineyard Mildew Control. this meeting was to have been presented by Sam Ausburn, Vinicologist of Kosta Browne Winery of Sebastopol, CA.
This cancellation is due to measures we are being asked to undertake in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic we are currently experiencing, as directed by the Gov. Newsom. The health and well being of our members is most paramount and we will do everything we can to avoid further spreading of this virus.
In an effort to provide meaningful information to our membership despite the cancellation of what would have been a very informative session, I have a link to the UC Davis IPM Management guide which should be useful when thinking about Mildew Management. We will attempt to reschedule this meeting at another time, where we could go much deeper into this topic. Please go to: http://ipm.ucanr.edu/PMG/r302100311.html#RAI
We will continue to make plans for the AVA Celebration event scheduled for May 31, 2020. However, depending on the progress of the pandemic, this might also have to be rescheduled. Please stand by while we work through these troubled times.
We look forward to seeing everyone again soon! Stay healthy!!!
Sincerely,
Daniel Howsepian, President, LWGA
Daniel, could this, or any future events, be conducted online, for example using Zoom Video. I can host the online session and provide everyone interested in such an event the necessary access. Naturally, I would not be the one leading the presentation, but I can provide the means to host the event. Just an idea.
