Issue 9:4 THE CACTUS PATCH April 2006

EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING NOTES

On March 28 the BCSS board met at Vonne's. Vonne, Steve, Maynard and Anne met to discuss future plans for the group. After a tour of Vonne's plants, we were served brownies, mixed nuts and drinks and began the meeting. Vonne began by announcing that she and Mickey will be moving to Colorado due to Mickey being transferred. That will leave the club without a President. Vonne will continue for a few months, but we will need to be working on finding a replacement.

Programs were discussed:

April will be Rob in South Africa - plant of the month to be euphorbias.

May will be arranged by Vonne - possibly a guest speaker.

June will be the annual picnic at the Cal State succulent garden

July will be decided later - possibly a sharing of everyone’s pictures, slides, etc. like we've done in the past.

August - annual dinner at Cactus Valley restaurant

September will be gearing up for the plant show and sale

A possible yard tour was suggested. We would need volunteers to show their yards. Coming dates in addition to meetings are the yard sale on April 29 and 30 (preparations on the 28th) at Sydney's. Volunteers will be needed. The dates for the Show and Sale are to be October 13 (preparation), 14 and 15.

The next board meeting will be at Anne's house on April 25 at 6:30. All members interested in helping with planning for the group are welcome.
