Message from the President

Hope everyone is well!

Here we are into September already. Time to start bringing plants indoor for the winter.  I have to start getting my growing room ready.  I dread the thought of bringing everything back in.  My plants are doing so well outside!  And I hate going back and forth, in and out brining in all those plants. Goes with the territory I guess.

Last Month was our annual picnic and auction.  As usual we all had a great time.  We had a lot of really nice plants from Krull Smith (thanks Gerry for ordering them) and good food from our membership.  Members present got some good bargains.  I know I left with more than I intended.

It has actually been some time since we’ve had a regular meeting. I hope everyone can make it in September.  Jim Marlow is the speaker this month.  It should be a great meeting so I hope to see you all there!
