We will gather around 6:00 to dine together. We will have lots of time to admire the many unusual plants on hand for the silent auction. We will casually dine. Then… the fun will begin!!! If you spy the perfect plant, you must then try to keep ahead of the few others who couldn’t possibly want that same succulent, but seen to be admiring it, so that it will be an addition to your collection at the end of the evening. You do this by bidding, rechecking, and bidding again.

For dinner the club will provide drinks, and table settings. Please bring a dish to share. We always seem to have a great variety of dishes, so just bring what sounds good to you.

If you have any cactus related items you’d like to donate to the club, we can add those to the silent auction. In the past this has included such items as painted dishes, a magazine holder in the shape of a cactus, hats that resemble cactus, margarita glasses with cacti stems (of course), and many more clever creations. These can be purchased or home-made. If you like it, probably one of your club buddies will admire it too. This is a chance to celebrate, and reflect on another fabulous year with the club! Please join us.

Your very appreciative president,
Vonne Zdenek
