Connect and grow with us in 2017! Plan to join us on our new date of March 15 for the first CLCA University class of the year where you'll learn about the new pests invading our area, as well as how to treat and identify them. Palms and the South American Palm Weevil will also be discussed.

As our keynote speakers, we will have:

• John Kabashima, MBA, Ph.D., Environmental Horticulture Advisor, Emeritus

• Jennifer Pelham, Area Environmental Advisor with the University of California Cooperative Extension in San Diego and Orange Counties

These Green Industry professionals will talk on the topic from their own experiences and be on hand to address questions first-hand. Come and learn from their experience and ask them your burning questions.

Meet new Green Industry friends during networking that will begin at 4 p.m., followed by the educational session at 4:30 p.m. There will be heavy appetizers, which are included in the $40 to attend. Cost for non-CLCA members is $45. Class is scheduled to conclude by 6:30 p.m., allowing enough time to get you home with your family in time for dinner!
