We’ll take care of general society business, have Ben give his talk, do our fabulous show-and-tell (members bring in their blooming plants for everyone to enjoy) and then our monthly raffle is back!.

SOS Annual Auction
The Sacramento Orchid Society is having its annual Auction on September 6, 2023. This event is a great way to pick up some new orchids for your collection. These orchids are all grown and donated by our members. These are all excellent quality and you can find some rare and interesting orchids at the auction.
Some of our members who have purchased orchids at the auction in the past have gone on to win AOS awards with their new orchids. This gives you an idea of the quality of the orchids that are available at the auction.
This auction is available to everyone, you don’t have to be a member of the society to participate in the auction. Our own Alan Koch of Gold Country Orchids will be the auctioneer again this year. Alan is always entertaining and many of our members can advise you on any orchid that you purchase in the auction. If you are just coming to participate in the auction, you should plan to arrive between 6:30 and 6:45 to register and get a good seat.
We hope to see everyone there. It’s always a lot of fun and there will be refreshments available.
