December 2024 Newsletter

The Holiday Season is upon us and none too soon. Slowly but surely, we are getting back on our feet in beautiful Western North Carolina. With our annual Holiday Social around the corner—the timing couldn’t be better! Nothing like a cover dish party and some great camaraderie to help us through these challenging times.

Leslie and I invite all members and their significant others to join us at our home for the annual cover-dish WNCOS Holiday Social—on Sunday, December 8th, from 1:00 to 3:00. We will supply the traditional sliced meats, ham and turkey, as well as light beverages. We ask that members bring a favorite dish to share, and any additional festive spirits they so desire. Also, a Holiday Orchid Raffle will send each member home with a special orchid surprise!

The annual Holiday Social is a great time to sit back and relax, visit with your fellow orchid enthusiasts. If you are planning to attend, please RSVP to my email G_ram@yahoo.com. See address details below:

One last bit of housekeeping: It’s that time of year to pay your annual dues for 2025. It’s been a great year for WNCOS membership, with both old and new members filling our ranks. Please help to keep up our robust membership alive by renewing for ’25. There are three ways to renew: 1) Bring cash or check to the Holiday Social or the next meeting you attend, 2) mail a check to PO Box 874, Asheville NC, 28802, or 3) visit WNCOS.org and use PayPal. Membership is $25 for an individual, $35 for a household.

Thank you and look forward to seeing you at the social!
