Babsie,

 

You didn’t give me the salient point of this email.  Therefore, I had to read it.  In doing so, I found the salient point. 

 

It is that the Bee Classes start on January 19^th.   All put on by the Salt Lake Extension.

 

For we simple folk, we have to plan for such things, so it is good to know that on January 19^th, 2010, just days away, there will be a Beekeeping class that runs for a few days or something.

 

I am going to try and make the classes.  I hope others will too.

 

Babs, we could do a bit of a potluck on one of the class days.  Call it a Class Party Potluck or a Beehive Potluck.  (I think I like the Beehive Potluck name better.)

 

Thanks Babs, I hope everything down on Green Street is cool.

 

Charles
