“Finally, Happy Spring!”RICK BEANE
MPSTMA President
As we leave winter behind and enter into Spring/Summer the demands on
will be overwhelming. I don’t know about anyone else, but this year has been
CRAZY. We started the spring off with the never ending grip of old man win-
ter which made it almost impossible to get our fields ready and then we had a
few weeks of nice weather and then into the monsoon season. Will it ever
end? I think so. As I peck at the key board I look out my office window and
the sun is out and the birds are singing, I almost forgot what the sun looked
like, so with all that said Happy Spring to all...
Speaking of spring, our MPSTMA Spring Workshop attracted 119 people
to the University of St. Thomas on March 27. I would like to thank all of the
people involved in this event. A successful event doesn’t happen by accident.
It takes planning and involvement of numerous people. Thank you to our
hosts Roger Weinbrenner, CSFM, Bob Reed and the spring workshop commit-
tee for organizing a great program. I’d also like to thank our speakers: Jeff
Anderson, Minnesota Vikings; Brandon Gallagher, Rainbow Treecare Scientific
Advancement; Dave Farson, GameTime, and Peter Whitacre, The Toro
Company. All four gave interesting, informative talks.
Another piece key to the success of conferences and our organization in
general is our vendor involvement, without them it wouldn’t be possible.
From their active membership in the MPSTMA, sponsorship and advertising it
makes our group grow. Our vendors are a great resource for information on
the latest and greatest in their area of expertise. Please review our MPSTMA
Commercial members’ company information in this special “Vendor Issue.”
