North American Fruit Explorers mailing list at ibiblio

[Jacquelyn Kuehn <jakuehn@mail.yourinter.net>]

Dear Group,

If this came through before, please ignore it; I got a message back 
saying that it had been held up because I was not a member of the list. 
So I'll try it this way.  Thanks!

If you are a leader of a Fruit/Nut Interest group, please check your 
listing here for the next Pomona; if all is fine, don't do anything. But 
if there is a correction to be made, please send it to me by Friday, 
Feb. 28. Thanks so much.

Jackie Kuehn


NAFEX FRUIT & NUT INTEREST GROUPS

Lon Rombough, PO Box 365, Aurora, OR 97002-0365.
Phone (503) 678-1410. E-mail: <lonrom@hevanet.com>

To receive a reply, correspondence must include a self-addressed, 
stamped envelope. Interest groups allow members to participate directly 
in NAFEX through sharing experiences and interests with others of like 
mind. In turn, IGs share with NAFEX through Pomona. Share your 
experiences, reading and research. Groups work on variety exploration, 
cultural methods, collecting and testing varieties, breeding, variety 
history, or anything else connected with fruit and nut growing. You can 
make a single contribution to a group or be a long-term member. To ask a 
question, join a group, or just share something, contact the chairperson 
of a group. Join as many as you like.
People interested in chairing or starting new IGs should contact the 
Interest Groups Coordinator. It is an excellent way to learn about the 
fruit or nut involved, and it takes only enthusiasm and a bit of time.
Please send all additions or corrections to: Interest Groups 
Coordinator, Lon J. Rombough, PO Box 365, Aurora, OR 97002-0365. Phone 
(503) 678-1410. E-mail: <lonrom@hevanet.com>
