Membership Message

WELCOME

Please welcome new member Yolanda Roybal. We had 35 in attendance and 1 guest.

There are other resources for information on orchids other than SGVOH and the Society Library. Check these out:

I have been a member of the American Orchid Society for a number of years, and I just discovered that they have much information on-line about growing orchids, including all the articles from past Orchid Magazines!!! If you are a member, you can simply type in the topic that you wish information about (like pests, or brassia) and the list of articles will pop up – no need to go rummaging through your back issues trying to find out where in the world that great article went!

If you have a DSL web connection and an AOS member-ship, you are set to discover answers to those orchid questions that have been bothering you.

Enjoy having some refreshments? Bring some and receive a free ticket for a special drawing for the first plant from the POT. The goodies you bring do not have to be sweet!

We can all help with the clean-up after the meeting!

Did you know. . . ? You can check out a listing of the Society’s extensive Library of reference books, magazines, and videos on pages 16-22 of our Roster. The best time to check out materials is before the main meeting begins at 8 PM.
