WE WELCOME NEW MEMBERS

Beth & Stan Robin

ROSEMARIE ON LINE

Last month our very own Rosemarie Delano received some national exposure via AOL's People Connection, appearing on the title page of 'Ages & Stages.' Rosemarie is a member of the Kern River Ritzy Ratz chapter of the Red Hat Society.

THE SHOW & SALE IS COMING IN OCTOBER!

Once again it is time to start getting serious about our annual Show & Sale. Please consider helping out this year. We are in need of new volunteers to take the place of the Skillins who have skipped town. Don't be shy, speak up at the next meeting!

THERE WILL BE NO NEWSLETTER NEXT MONTH!

As I am going to be in Chile later this month, I will not be able to produce next month's Cactus Patch. Instead, Linda will be sending out some reminder postcards a week before the September meeting (That is unless someone wants to try their hand at doing the September newsletter.) -Stephen Cooley

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

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.
