A Note From Your New President Thank you all for confirming me as your new president. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the interaction and education I have experienced since joining the BCSS. I have always had a green thumb and kept many houseplants and various outdoor gardens, BUT moving to the desert of Bakersfield, has demanded a whole new mind-set for gardening. I was told we could not bring any plants into California, so I just brought one houseplant. Obviously, I had to start over with a collection of plants. Because of your wonderful "Show and Sale" I discovered the Bakersfield Cactus and Succulent Society. Now nearly 100 plants (most being cacti and succulents) fill my windowsills, patio and garden. I am hoping my "educator" background can help facilitate the Club's goal of educating the public on Cactus and Succulents. With everyone's continued participation, meaningful meetings and fun gatherings will continue into 2005. Ours is a fabulous group and I am very pleased to be an integral part. Vonne Zdenek |
