May Newsletter

Greetings WNCOS Members and Orchid Lovers,

I am happy to report that even though the April meeting fell on Easter Sunday, we had a great turnout. I want to especially thank all the new members that attended, and there were quite a few! The repotting program generated ample discussion about 'everything orchids.' Thanks to the more experienced members for sharing their orchid wisdom. I know I left the meeting with some newfound knowledge myself.  

For our May meeting, Jeremy Losaw of the Carolina Judging Center will give a program on Orchids and AOS Photography. As part of his program, he will do some hands-on demonstrations. This is a first for WNCOS and I, for one, am excited to see what Jeremy has to offer. Let’s face it, we all like to take pictures of our special bloomers. 

Since the May meeting falls on Mother’s Day, I think it’s only appropriate that we have a little something special for all the Moms in attendance. Plus, we will have a robust raffle table for everyone. And of course, I want to see a grand Show-And-Tell table; we've had some great ones lately. Remember, for every Show-and-Tell plant you bring, you'll get a free raffle ticket; if you bring something yummy to share, you'll also get a free raffle ticket! 

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone on May 14th at 2:00 at the Asheville Visitor Center, 36 Montford Avenue 28801. Feel free to come early for some pre-meeting socializing.
