Rain? Rain?. Go Away!

Rain, rain, go away! Perhaps I will regret uttering that plea for the constant rainfall to cease when the dog days of August are upon us, but sometimes enough is really enough. It has not been a ?normal? year of precipitation for Northeast Texas at all. However, not too long ago in 2011, you may all remember that there was a long drought period that we all thought would never end. In fact the lasting effects can still be felt in the loss of our older trees in the landscape.

The Health Sciences Department at ÂÒÉ«ÎÞÂëÈËÆÞÊÓƵӰԺ†has lots of upcoming training opportunities. Short trainings with flexible schedules! Check out some of the upcoming opportunities:
