President's Letter

April 2024

​

Wow! What a great show! Thank you to all who help and made it happen, especially a huge thanks and shout-

out to our phenomenal show co-chairs, Kathy McCafferty, Lawrene Neel and Mary Ann Pike. And a huge thanks to all the show committee chairs and the people who volunteered to help with their committees. Without the work of so many of our members, the show would never happen. It happened and it was beautiful, outside and in. Thank you one and all!

​

Welcome to our newest members! We hope to see you at our Sunday, April 13th meeting, at the Spartan

Community Center in Hazelwood. Mini-class at 1PM and business meeting at 2PM with our speaker to follow. There will be a great panel discussion on how to grow your orchids. And we have cookies! Come out for our meeting. We would love to meet you.

​

As the days get longer our orchids start growing faster. Time to think about repotting! Watch for the new root

growth. Enjoy your orchids and watching them grow and bloom. There’s always something new to see and learn.

​

Think orchids,

​
