Hello MLP members and fellow MCLPs ,
Happy Fall . For many of us , this is our favorite season and a time to work harder and faster than ever before the snow flies . After a brutally hot summer , I ’ m welcoming the cooler temperatures .
The MCLP Committee would like to congratulate two new MCLPs , Noelle Snow of Chris Mark & Sons in Pocasset , MA and Kate O ’ Neil of Mountain Home Landscape in Williamstown MA . The smaller summer exam was a great opportunity to achieve success on one section of the exam and we had several candidates do just that on August 5 . The November exam is right around the corner and as we go to press it ’ s about 50 % full .
2022 recertification credit submission will begin on or around November 1 so it ’ s time to start checking your lists and making sure you ’ ve earned the required 10 credits . Next , you can hit the mark with two safety credits by registering for the MLP 2022 Safety Webinar “ The Latest on Ticks & Mosquitos ”.
Other upcoming events this year are the MLP October webinar and November Annual Meeting , both of which grant two education credits . Remember that you can use the credit tracking worksheet found at the website for keeping tabs on where you stand until it ’ s time to fill out the recertification form .
Wishing everyone a prosperous fall !
