Re: Final Reminder: US West Coast Aroid Meeting!

Preamble:

We had our first meeting at the UC Botanical Garden
at Berkeley Sunday afternoon. It was great fun and
hopefully the start of something even greater, as we
all agreed to keep things going & reconvene later this
year. Photos of the event (thanks to Albert Huntington)
as well as future announcements of group meetings
can be found at   http://www.aroid.org/westcoast/

Can I join without coming to the meetings?

A few people have asked me this question, so in an
effort to clarify:  Of course, we're absolutely happy to
include all who wish on our mailing list!  But please
know our underlying goal here is simply to gather
people from around our region (or anyone wishing
to attend, for that matter) who either have or should
have an interest in aroids, and to orchestrate getting
them all together a few times/ year.

In order to keep things sustainable and realistic, this
group will almost certainly be more informal than not.
Which is to say we currently have no plans to collect
dues or publish our own newsletter or any such thing
and, as it stands, our mailing list will be a one-way
(non-forum) channel used for announcing when and
where the next gatherings will be, etc.

If anything, I'm personally hoping our efforts will only
add to the subscribers and posts on this great forum
as well as helping grow both the membership of, and 
contributions of knowledge to, the IAS.

Subject: [Aroid-l] Final Reminder: US West Coast Aroid Meeting!



A quick reminder to any/ all who find themselves in the SF Bay Area
this weekend: The UC Botanical Garden at Berkeley is hosting a 1st
meeting of "local" aroid enthusiasts, Sunday March 8th at 1 PM.

ALL are welcome, and admission to the Garden is free for meeting
attendees!

In addition to the meeting itself there will be a special aroider's
plant
sale, and, the Garden's own Director of Horticulture will lead us on a
special behind the scenes tour.  Please come on out, and be sure to
tell your friends!

For further information, please refer to  http://www.aroid.org/
