December 19, POS Meeting

This month we meet on the third Friday (December 19th). Our guest speaker will be Ron Coleman, author of "Wild Orchids of California" and other books and articles on native orchids of North America. He is a well known naturalist, writer, photographer and orchid enthusiast, so this promises to be an interesting and informative presentaiton. Instead of a skill session this month there will be an informal wine and cheese reception (starting at 7) immediately prior to the meeting (which starts at 7:45). A great chance to meet and talk with our guest. Our opportunity table this month will be provided by Scott Dallas of White Oak Orchids. See you there!
