The President's Message


  
  To the outdoor gardener, the first sign of spring may be heralded by the robin returning in the warm currents of air from the South. To this indoor gardener, spring (and smiles) were brought last week by the start of a new growth on a Cattleya. The longer days and the increase of sun are starting to wake up my resting collection. But there isn't a lot of resting for our Show Chairman, Sue Schweizer. She is busy making plans for the Palm Sunday Show. If you haven't volunteered your help as of yet, please call. Speaking of calling, we are taking nominations for the Orchidist of the year. If there is someone who has been helpful to you or that you think they are doing a real good job, give me a call at (810) 960-0066 and let me know about them.

Respectfully, Bill Drapinski
