BCSS MEETING February 8, 2005 Vonne Zdenck opened the meeting and introduced the speakers along with Bonnie East. The first speaker, Maggie Cushine from CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates of Kern County). The goal of the CASA program is to protect children from abuse, neglect and abandonment. Volunteers from the community join CASA to represent these children and speak out on their behalf. Maggie's subject was to help children caught up in abuse have volunteers from BCSS to plant gardens for their enjoyment. Maggie can be contacted at 661-631-2272 for further information. The second speaker was Mark Muradian from Fresno. Mark gave a fantastic presentation of his trip to Yemen and Socotra, showing beautiful photo's of the area including plants that are native to that area. We saw giant caudiciform Dendrosicyos, Dorsetnia and Adenium as well as Edithcolea, Caralluma and Dragonsblood trees (Dracaena). Mark also displayed many pots that are one of a kind with an artistic flare that were for sale. |
