The next meeting of the orchid club will be November 3, 2024 at 2pm. The program will be an AOS webinar. Subject TBD. We will have a show table and a raffle table.
Daylight savings time ends at 2am on Sunday. Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour or you’ll be one hour early for the meeting!
December’s meeting is on the first Sunday. It is the annual holiday pot luck luncheon. Bring a favorite tasty dish to share. Also bring your own dish and utensils to use. There will be a show table and a raffle table. We may have a speaker on native orchids but there will not be plants to sell.
~ MEMBERSHIP - Dues are now due! If you haven't paid yet, then you will be dropped from the email list for newsletters and will not receive links to the Zoom programs . Since we have been holding meetings with speakers both on Zoom and now in-person, we have resumed collection of dues. Please contact Sue Finger is you are not sure if your dues are paid. Thank you! We have had a few volunteers for officers, and still need volunteers for other positions like newsletter editor. If you have ideas, questions or suggestions, please contact Jerry, Judi or Jan.
We have shifted to posting, viewing and talking about orchids on our Facebook page. The link to our page is on the toolbar to the left. Check out our Facebook page; there are people from around the world who visit and upload orchid pictures, questions and comments. If you have orchids flowering now or they did flower during the last few months but meetings were canceled, head over to Facebook and upload these pictures and chat with people there! At our previous 2022 Fall Show and Sale, there were 3 AOS awards given! Show and AOS Awards pictures will soon be uploaded. Pictures of flowers, displays and artwork can be viewed on the Show Pictures page. We are now collecting Dues for 2024 since we are holding meetings with paid speakers. If you would like to receive links to our meetings, then please submit your 2024 dues by March 31st to Club Treasurer Sue Finger - Thanks! Our orchid club is now on Facebook! Check it out here and let us know what else you think might be good to have on the site. Our main website now hosts two photo galleries. One is our the Show Pictures page where images from our orchid shows can be viewed, The second is the Virtual Showtable page, which shows previous years' Member's flowering orchids, which hadn't cooperated by flowering during a show or meeting. This page has been superseded by our Facebook page, where members and many guests post and share orchid pictures. There are native orchid pictures which can be viewed; both links can be found to the left.
Also a reminder that our newsletter and website have a section where Members can post a list of orchids or orchid-related items they wish to sell/buy/trade. If you are a neighboring orchid society (including Canada) and will be having an orchid auction, these can be listed there as well as on our events calendar. Send requests to Newsletter Editor Chris Smith (csmith23 at twcny dot rr dot com) and your list will be put in the newsletter and on our website. Please submit your request at least two weeks before the next scheduled meeting - Thanks!
Hope to see you at our next meeting or event!
