We invite everyone to join us at our monthly meeting in March. This is a free meeting that is open to the public. There is plenty of free parking. The doors open at 6:00pm and the meeting starts at 7:00pm.

 Our monthly meetings include a world-class speaker, refreshments, a plant opportunity table and our members show-and-tell tables. Our members bring in their blooming plants and each meeting is like a mini orchid show. The members who grew the plants are available to talk about their plants including how to grow them.

 This month, our speaker is Gustavo Aguirre. While his topic has not been finalized, here is some information on Gustavo:

Gustavo has been growing and collecting Colombian orchids more than 45 years.  His orchid company, Orquídeas Katía, sells Colombian species of the generas Cattleya, Pleurothllidinae, Chondrorhyncha complex, Miltoniopsis, Maxillaria, hybrid Miltoniopsis and others. He is an Honorary member, Board of Directors, ex editor and member of the editorial committee of the Colombian Orchid Society (SCO) in Medellín (Colombia). He is have collaborated and provided photographs for various Orchid publications such as Orquideas de Colombia (Orchids of Colombia).

Additionally, there is AOS judging taking place. If you have an orchid that you believe might be worthy of an award, bring it in between 6:00-6:30pm and the California Sierra Nevada Judging Center will judge your orchid and award it if it merits an award.

 We hope to see everyone there. If you are interested, you can join the society at any of our meetings or events. We would love to have you as a member and look forward to helping you grow better orchids.
