In this edition of the Monday Morning Messenger, cooler weather will be here before you know it. Our friends at PERC have put together a collection of materials for you to encourage customers to fill early and start thinking about winter.

Also, today is the deadline to sign up for the popular Propane Emergencies Training to secure your seat and room. The hotel block keeps selling out. Today is the last day to sign up for the class as well as get your rooms.

Like TPGA, NPGA has districts. Texas is in NPGA District 4, and they are hosting a meeting this week online. See more details on how you can participate remotely.

Speaking of meetings, the TPGA has a date and location for our Fall 2022 Board & Committee Meetings. Check out the Save the Date below.
