Speaker

Ron Midget did a very interesting program on Green Catts. Lots of pretty Slides. He had some very nice plants for sale. He seemed to enjoy his trip here and we went out to dinner after the meeting and then took him to the airport.

We had 5 people show their orchids to the group in the Show and Tell session.

We had a very good interesting group of plants for the drawing.
