Michiana Orchid Soc. Spring Show:
The Michiana Spring Show falls on
Mother's Day weekend this year. We will
have to decide at this meeting whether to participate in the show. Because tear down will be on Mother's Day,
we have to know now if we have people who will commit to the tear down and
removal of the display on Mother's Day.
This will include bringing orchids back to the Kalamazoo area, for those
who will not be there.
Shirley and I have obligations that
will preclude us from attending on Sunday and I know others have the same type
of obligations.
A decision will be made at the
March meeting. If you can help with
tear down, let us know at the meeting.
If you cannot attend the March meeting and can help with tear down,
either email me at jtcompany@bizloop.com or call (269) 649-4340 by March
1st. Also, you can call Larry Galdes at
(269) 383-4423.
