THANK YOU, Tuesday March 26 at 9am - Final Prep for Point Processing and Storage Closure

by Alina Skorobohatova

The following is being sent on behalf of Curt McCartney: _____________________ I would like to thank everyone who came this morning to move equipment out of the Point seed processing rooms. This was a success, and we were able to move the big items into grain drying room. We will now have access this equipment without any restrictions over the summer. Mel will be taking down the blue and orange metal seed storage shelves later today. He will need some help with this, so he will be reaching out to people for assistance. Please help out if you can. Thanks again, Curt

Please mark your calendars for Tuesday March 26th at 9 am and plan to have at least one member from each lab group that works at the Point participate. We will start with a brief planning meeting in the Point coffee room to get organized into teams for specific tasks and to coordinate our efforts for the day.
