Learning and Laughing…Busy Fall Ahead

It is peak season; the sun is very warm, and everybody is busy! However, do not forget we have some events coming up that I know you will not want to miss.

To all members, you are invited to attend our NextGen Roundtable discussion which will take place at Smith Pipe & Supply in Van Nuys on September 26. There will be industry titans like Past State CLCA Presidents Rich Angelo of Stay Green and Mickey Strauss of MSM Landscape, among others, sharing their ideas and comments regarding the industry and their success secrets.

If you are just starting your business, you are already established but are looking to grow, or you just want to meet with other landscapers in your area, this event is for you. To make sure you attend this event, reach out to us to hold a spot for you.

On October 10 we will be holding an important event that will take place in the Los Angeles area. Past LA/SGV President and internet landscape education guru Mike Garcia of Enviroscape will give a presentation on RAINWATER HARVESTING at SiteOne Landscape Supply in Torrance. This event will have some good pointers on how to take advantage of our fall weather rain and making the most of it. Please reach out to us for more details.

Also, in October we will be having the annual Auxiliary Scholarship Auction set for October 24. Don’t miss this fun-filled event that combines laughs, tasty Chinese food, and an opportunity to donate to LEAF scholarships. This is one of the Chapter’s most successful and happiest events of the year. If you wish to donate something for the auction, please reach out to us. Any monetary donation is also welcome.

PS: Two special events are coming up just around the corner. On September 5, State CLCA is presenting its “How to Make Money with Your Landscape Business” seminar at Landscape Warehouse in North Hollywood. And, for all of you who love fishing, there’s the Channel Island Chapter’s 10th annual Fishing Trip September 13.

Thank you all and until the next time.
