April 2013

Spring is finally here and what a wonderful season it is with flowers coming into bloom and new life being born, it really is a magical season.

The OSSC’s March meeting was fun, everyone learned a lot and left for home with at least one plant or more. Doug Overstreet taught us some methods that were different from what we usually hear, and easier (my favorite). We had 6 visitors join in the fun.

This year our annual auction will be on June 15th, the day before Father’s Day. If you are looking for presents we will have plenty to choose from. A sign up sheet will be going around at the April meeting for all of those will can help with the various tasks that need to be done to make this a successful auction. This will be done in April because we will not have a meeting in May, instead we will be going to the Huntington for a tour of the orchid greenhouses on Saturday, May 11th. This is an outing that is not to be missed. There will be more information on the tour in the next bulletin.

In April the plant judging will begin for this year. Please bring in your plants for us to admire and be judged. For those of you who have not paid your dues, and you know who you are, this is your last bulletin. I sincerely hope you reconsider and retain your membership in the society.

My best to all and Happy Easter,
