Belle Isle Volunteers Report

  On January 11th we repotted 40 plants. Dead leaf removal and cleanup of both orchid greenhouses was also done. More preparatory work was done for the relocation of 2 large ventilation fans into the Cymbidium house.

  The volunteers for this session were: Roland Cantu, Don Farrelly, Grant Marlow, Carolyn and Richard Olson Dick Scheich, and Frank Sniba.

  You may have noticed the article in the news paper or heard reference to the conservatory windows on the local news. It is good to know that a bond issue was approved for the refirbishing of the conservatory. The structure is showing it's age. It was interesting to note that the original structure was built with wood.

  The remaining dates for Winter and Spring 1997 are:
February 8th
March 8th
April 12th
May 10th

Hours are from 9:30 - 3:30. You can come for any amount of time that fits your schedule. Remember to bring your lunch and tools.
