1. We will have the cardboard poster displays at the meeting so you can see which ones need to be fixed or revised. You can also see whether there is a topic for a new poster that you would like to make.

2. We will have a sign-up list for being at the Show. Although we won't be selling plants, we do need members to help talk with the visitors.

3. If anyone is interested in coordinating the children's art contest, please let me know.

4. Entry cards will be there for you to take and fill out for your show plants.

1. Please bring plants. It does not matter whether they are "staged" with special pots, top dressing and rocks. We want diversity. The only thing to watch for is mealy bugs or scale insects. We can’t accept any "buggy" plants. See elsewhere in the Newsletter for plant categories.

2. We will have entry cards at the next meeting. If you can't make it to the meeting, don’t worry, we will have cards at the set up on Saturday morning.

3. BRING PLANTS. Bring them Saturday morning between 7 and 9 am so we can set up the show. It is really difficult to add plants after the show is set up. Remember how crowded the plants were last year?

4. BRING "allied interests" such as photographs, ceramic succulents, etc. – any arts and crafts display dealing with cacti and other succulents.

5. Pick up your plants between 3 and 4 pm on Sunday afternoon.

6. The Show is officially open from 10am – 6pm on Saturday and 11am – 4pm on Sunday. Even if you have not signed up, please "hang around" and talk to visitors. No special expertise is required. It is lots of fun to share our enthusiasm with the public.

7. Be sure to wear your BCSS t-shirt if you have one.
