Whoever said Friday the 13th was unlucky? I don't agree. Today the GWG club now has 100 members. Thank you to all who have joined.

Seed packs for members 81 to 100 will be mailed out soon.

The winner of the 239 Leonard seed is Ervin Strickland from S.C. He is a new member to the GWG and was # 94 to join.

That is awesome Mark. I hope we can at least double that before the enrollment deadline comes around. With all the Great White contest flyers we are distributing, I think 200 is a very reasonable number. Do you recall what our final membership number was last year ?

Yes Dennis we are hoping these flyers make it to the counters & message boards in over 1000 stores in the U.S. alone.If we walk these into the stores ourselves & educate the management on the contest & club we may very well hit 200 to 300 members.The flip side if the distributors (us & store suppliers) sit on them or leave them in a box in the back room the contest may not fly to all potential growers.I carry these in my Van & distribute when possible.Make sure you tell the stores they need to join club to enter.I have more Flyers if needed.Were giving away 3-291 kents in a drawing of all who pass out in stores.Markclementz@comcast.net need more??In a garden store I leave 6-12 flyers.

I travel locally a lot 60 mile radius of my house.I bought carpet last friday in Flint Mi..The man who sold me my carpert said he wanted to grow a big kin last summer,my installer said they keep planting kins every year but the bugs eat the plants.I told them about Merit & how to use it.Around here the SVBs will destroy the kins(anykind)by the end of July.There are alot of gardeners out there that dont know about clubs.The installer asked me if we milked the kins?lol I wish I had a dollar for every time Ive heard that.I only milk the pumpkins that have utters.lol
