Re: MidAmerica Chapter announcement

Folks,

  I just wanted to take this opportunity to mention that Steve Lucas and I have been working on some tools to help anyone who is interested in forming local chapters of the IAS. 

  Please visit the new chapters page at http://www.aroid.org/society/chapters.php for more information on how the society can help out local groups with publicity materials, web space and advice.

  I'd also like to mention that the West Coast chapter will be meeting on Sunday, October 18th at the UC Davis Botanical Conservatory.  We'll have talks, lots of plants for sale with the money going to support the hosting institution, and a tour of the aroid collection there.  For more information, see our webpage at http://www.aroid.org/westcoast/

Subject: [Aroid-l] MidAmerica Chapter announcement

Fellow Aroiders-

 

A new chapter of the IAS is beginning in the south central US.  The “MidAmerica Chapter” hopes to attract IAS members from Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana and anyone else close enough to drive to our 3-4 meetings each year.

 

The inaugural meeting will be November 21 in Oklahoma City, OK at the Myriad Botanical Gardens.  This tropical conservatory contains an impressive collection of Palms, Cycads, Bromeliads, Gingers, Orchids, Euphorbias, Begonias, and – you guessed it – Aroids!

 

There is a new page on the IAS website for this chapter, which will be updated as more information becomes available.  http://www.aroid.org/midamerica/

 

If you are in the area, please plan to attend this important event.  It will be lots of fun and a great opportunity to meet others who are interested in Aroids.  We will take a tour, trade some plants among ourselves, and Steve Lucas might even share a report on the Aroid Show in Miami .

 

Please contact me if you plant to attend or with any questions you may have.

 

Thanks!

 

Zach DuFran
