Wow!..Thanks for the ideas!!
Hey everyone!,
Thanks so much for all of your ideas and experience stories. I have a list written down already of ideas to try to implement in months to come. My first meeting was a success in regards to getting some new things passed. We as a society used to have a ribbon judging system for show and tell when we had big commercial growers in our society. I asked is we could go back to the old fashion show and tell of bringing any plant you have and tell something about it. We passed a measure to take $350.00 out our funds to buy in spike/blooming orchids to have at each meeting that didnt have an outside speaker bringing plants as a draw to attract members to a meeting. Growing classes will be 30 minutes before each meeting and aimed at new members. And lastly...I asked everyone to start trying to drag people to visit our meetings like people used to in years back. Driving up our membership numbers is crucial for this year. I was told that I didnt seem nervous...but I was...lol. Thanks again!
