Issue 7:7 THE CACTUS PATCH July 2004

WE WELCOME NEW MEMBER

Carol Benston

HELP NEEDED!

Hulda Magnus, an elderly lady who lives in East Bakersfield, has some cacti in pots that have outgrown their living quarters. She would greatly appreciate it if someone could help her repot/plant them. If you could find time to help please contact the editor.

READ ALL ABOUT IT ON THE WEB!

If you would be willing to save the club some much needed funds and give up your printed copy of the Cactus Patch for an electronic one, let me know. I will send an email reminder when each issue is online (The issues are uploaded the day I mail the printed copy). Email me at: thecactuspatch@aol.com

My son took this picture of Jack and me at The Valley of the Giants, a forest of huge cardon (Pachycereus pringlei) cacti, about nine miles south of San Felipe, Baja California.

Membership in the Bakersfield Cactus & Succulent Society costs $10 per year for an individual and only $15 a year for a family. This extraordinarily reasonable price not only includes twelve issues of The Cactus Patch but entitles you to participate in club field trips to far-off (out-of-town) and exotic places (more exotic than Bakersfield). You will also receive a nifty name tag that will be your ticket to the members only plant raffle held every meeting featuring the best plant from the raffle table! All this is in addition to the wonderful programs and people at the meetings.
