The talks were informative and overall great! All the volunteers did a magnificent job helping everyone enjoy the day. Thank you to the organizers, Rich Little, Susan Morton, and Ranee Webb. Also a special thank you to Marc Webb for all the hours put in to make the Bee houses, blocks, and accessories. And thank you Joseph Nicastro (Robin Keeton\u2019s husband) for making houses and Chuck Kirkpatrick for working on the blocks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Community news<\/strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>(Please note that anything in this section is not eligible for MGV volunteer service nor endorsed by Extension, but is mentioned as a courtesy to our community.)<\/em>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>None this week \u2013 check back soon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9118,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[150848],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-linn-e-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/activebentonlinnmg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/activebentonlinnmg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/activebentonlinnmg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/activebentonlinnmg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/activebentonlinnmg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1654"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/activebentonlinnmg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1654\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1658,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/activebentonlinnmg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1654\/revisions\/1658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/activebentonlinnmg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/activebentonlinnmg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/activebentonlinnmg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
