Thank you for renewing your membership to the Denton County Master Gardener Association.

Please note the following changes to the policy and procedure:

• Annual dues paid by January 31, 2019 are $15.
• Annual dues paid after January 31, 2019 will be $25
• All service hours and AT hours for 2018 must be entered in VMS no later than January 31, 2019.
• Any member not in good standing as of March 31, 2019 will be inactivated, unless granted an exception by the CEA-Hort.

Steps to renew your DCMGA membership:

1. Be sure that you have the required number of training and service hours.

Members of this year’s Intern class need 70 training hours and 70 service hours this year. After the Intern year, members need 12 Advanced Training hours and 12 service hours each year. For AT opportunities, see the Advanced Training Opportunities page. Service and training opportunities are also mentioned each week in the Plan Your Week email.

If it’s near the end of the year and you don’t have the required hours or there are circumstances preventing you from completing your hours, contact Janet Laminack to discuss.

2. Be sure that your hours have been logged in VMS.

If you have questions or password problems with VMS, contact dcmga.vms@gmail.com.  In-person assistance is also usually available at the monthly General Meetings.  You may also make an appointment with Janet Laminack for assistance with entering your hours.

While you’re in VMS, review your profile to be sure your contact information is up-to-date.
