RI Residential Rain Garden Training 

Spring 2011

Good Afternoon,

Due to the inclement weather and saturated soil conditions expected on Friday, April 1st, we have decided to alter our agenda for the two day RI Residential Rain Garden Training.  We will be holding the installation component of the training tomorrow afternoon, Thursday March 31st, and continuing the presentations indoors on Friday, April 1st.

 

All those scheduled to attend both training days, please dress appropriately for tomorrow's installation procedures.

 

All those scheduled for just the indoor component should plan on attending the training sessions on both Thursday and Friday morning from 8:30 -12:15.

 

An updated agenda will be available on our website (NEMO Workshops website) by the end of the day today, Wednesday, March 30th.
