BCSS MEETING
June 8, 2004

June's meeting was a potluck at Cal State Bakersfield's Environmental Studies Area (ESA). Here we enjoyed all the wonderful food brought in by the members (there was quite a turn-out!). We also got to meet our youngest member, James Daniel Ekegren, who made his first appearance at a BCSS meeting.

Linda gave us a quick tour of the Succulent garden that the club has been constructing. Members learned about the work that had been done, the work still to be done, the plants we have and the plants we want. I think everyone present would agree that the garden is coming along nicely - but there is still a huge amount of work to be completed! Our weekly Saturday work days will probably be suspended until the weather starts to cool down.

All-in-all it was a pleasant evening that was not too hot (a little breezy perhaps) and the food, as well as the company, was good. Thanks to Cal State for inviting us to have our meeting at the ESA!
