<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We will use a large training room and therefore there are plenty of spaces left in this 3-hour, 3 CEU course. This is the new and improved version of our first attempt at the course as a 2-hour
breakout session during the Yuma Ag Summit. This time there will be more topics, more time, more resources, and much more fun. Attendees will receive information, resources, and tools to help them better understand and comply with Arizona’s pesticide-related
laws and regulations. If you know you’ll be swamped and can’t get away that day, you’re welcome to send someone in your place, such as a safety manager, family member, foreman, pesticide handler, office manager, etc. Everyone is welcome to attend. Please RSVP
by sending an email to <a href="mailto:jennyweber@arizona.edu">jennyweber@arizona.edu</a> or calling me at (602) 827-8222 (landline without text message capabilities). I want to make sure we have enough handouts printed for everyone. If you need a copy of
the flyer with directions to the Maricopa Ag Center, please let me know. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
