Well, the leaders meeting came and went in Lansing. I was not too impressed with the information. They were bluntly honest in saying that they knew we were all looking for answers and direction, but that they could only give us the information they had and that information was changing day to day.
This meeting also left me with a great deal of confidence in what I am accomplishing. I used to kind of feel that I was really the newbie in all of this. I had never grown a plant and I really didn't know the growers lingo. I felt lost a lot of the time. I kept on with the club though, mostly faking it and it pretty much always worked out. What I realized last week was that I am right on par with most of these other club leaders. They have the same questions I do, in other words they are just learning too. I feel better. I can do this. I am doing this, and it's working.
Now, some bad news. A board member from our club got his plants ripped last night. He was two weeks away from harvest and they took everything that was ready. They picked the lock and took off through the back woods. No physical damage, but he lost $10,000 dollars worth of plants. I am so sick over this. He has patients that have been waiting for their meds for months and now he has nothing to give them. The police were called and came out to make a report but nothing beyond that so far.
I'll keep you posted as this progresses.
For now, our next meeting is scheduled for this coming Wednesday. We're ready to go with announcements and such. We're searching for board members and volunteers to help us grow. It's taking off and I'm on for the ride.
Talk to you soon.
