	TOCA Turns Toward Tucson Turf (or Desert) By Den Gardner, Executive Director
	From the tropics of Puerto Rico and our 20th anniversary, TOCA now turns its sites into the new decade to the desert beauty of Tucson, Arizona, for our 21st meeting May 5-6, 2010. The Hilton Tucson El Conquistador Golf & Tennis Resort is the location for our meeting and the hotel promises to “send us home with exceptional memories.” Eric Schroder of SportsTurf magazine is the chair of this year’s event. He promises a professional development program that will motivate, educate and enlighten you, plus provide plenty of opportunity for networking and professional “green” touring.
