An UNOFFICIAL meeting of WCC-011 was held in Toronto, Canada at the International Turfgrass Society meetings. No official business was conducted. A brief (1/2 hour) meeting was held to inform members of the upcoming (2002) meeting in Dallas, TX. No motions were made, no elections were conducted.

Accomplishments

Since this was not an official meeting, there were no state reports given. There were no committee reports given. Accomplishments of this group will be reported at the 2002 Dallas, TX meeting.
