ANNOUNCEMENTS Emails Received Speaker Wanted Hello, I got your email off a website for the cactus club here in Bakersfield. My name is Audrey Polanco and I'm the
President for the Kern County Turtle & Tortoise Club here in Bakersfield. We are always looking for different speakers
and I was wondering if you might be interested in speaking at one our meetings. Since some of our tortoises enjoy/live
off of different types of cacti and succulents, I thought it might be nice to learn about some of the different types
out there. Our meetings are every 3rd Thursday of the month and start at about 7:00pm. The "talk" would only have to be
about 20-30 minutes long. Or you can bring slides as well. Its up to you. If you or someone in your club would be
interested in being a speaker for our club, I can be contacted at this email address:
speedy_turtle23@yahoo.com
Argentine Cactus Expeditions My name is Guillermo Rivera, I am from Cordoba Argentina, and organize trips and expeditions in northern Argentina to see cactus in their habitat. More than 100 species of cactus were seen in our last tour in October 2003. Sixteen people, (Americans and French), participated in our last expedition. Twelve days, all inclusive 925 Euros (ground transportation, hotels, park fees, all meals included).
Please visit www.cactusexpeditions.com.ar for additional information, itinerary, list of species and dates. You can contact me directly at rivera@intecar.com.ar [editor’s note: Apparently several people from the San Francisco Cactus & Succulent Society have been on one of these expeditions. I have a list of people you can contact if you wish to inquire further] |
