A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT To the fabulous Cactus Club groupies!! Yes, Mickey and I will be moving eventually to Ft. Collins Colorado. He has accepted a position in the Northern Plains Area of the USDA as Assistant Area Director over 8 states. He will be moving May 15th. I will follow whenever our house sells! So, I may be here a while, but definitely until the middle of July. I have enjoyed being a part of the club, both as a member and an officer. The camaraderie is ever amazing and so supportive. To see the way you all pull together for activities such as the Show and Sale and the recent Yard Sale is amazing. Our membership in the club has been the most enjoyable part of living in Bakersfield. (And our yard is a living testament to that). It represents the different factions from which we've learned so much. The beautiful blooms that surprise us weekly add to that pleasure. We will miss you all and hope you will consider stopping by whenever you go Northeast. They tell me it is ski country. Sincerely, |
