Meeting:
This month’s meeting is the picnic. Sue Grabber has agreed to be the host. Here are the directions and a couple of
requests from Sue:
The address is 25722 36th St. Gobles, MI
(616-628-5554). From Kalamazoo: Take West Main (M-43) west to the
intersection of M-40 and M43. Turn
north (right) on M-40 to 28th St. (First street after the Shagnasti restaurant)
Turn left on 28th to the first road to the right, which is 36th. We're about a mile down the road on the left
hand side. From 1-94 - take the Paw Paw
exit - go north to the inter-section of M40 & M43. Follow above from there.
People should
bring lawn chairs, a dish to pass, and something to drink if they don't want
coffee or lemonade.
She would really
appreciate RSVP calls so she can judge how much meat to buy, or if someone
knows about how many usually attend the picnic - if they'd let her know.
Minutes:
Mr. Tom Smith, a
plant specialist from Michigan State University made a presentation on plant
rescue/recovery. There was additional
information that I will try to scan and publish on the web site. If you want to contact Tom, he can be
reached at grassroots@voyater.net
Larry Galdes received
two AOS awards at the Michiana show.
The first was Phal. Venetian Festival ‘Livo”, CCM, 83 points. The other was Epl. Seagulls Macaw that he
was awarded HCC with 78 points. He gave
it a clonal name of ‘Kristina’. The
club was awarded a 2nd place prize for the display at the Michiana
show.
We still need additional commitments for the “semi-hydro” pots that John Talpa uses to justify a case. If you are interested please contact John by phone or at the meeting. His phone number is listed below.

The following site has ratings of growers and sellers. It could prove to be useful. However, I would be cautious about perfect ratings, extremely low ratings and those ratings where only one rating was submitted.
