The Party will be held on Monday, December 14 th this year. Make sure you mark it on your calendar since we are breaking with tradition and it is NOT on a Tuesday night this year. Check in with Shirley at the meeting this month and make sure you are up to date on your dues for the year, that you have attended at least one meeting and brought one refreshment. If you have, then you are entitled to a Holiday Orchid. In addition, if you have 100% attendance and have not missed anything all year you will receive a second Holiday Orchid. Lucky You!! Remember that this month Pan Am will be meeting in the Community Center at Pinecrest Gardens. The Northwest section of the parking lot, across from the library when entering the Pinecrest Gardens parking lot. The meeting will begin promptly at 7pm and end at 9 pm due to the location. If you have not brought refreshment yet this year you can still bring one to this meeting or to the November meeting. This weekend is the Redland Open House. 16 th, 17 th and 18 th from 9-5. Carib Plants, Motes Orchids, Soroa Orchids and Whimsy will be participating. Also this weekend RF Orchids will be hosting the East Everglades annual Show and Sale. Have a beautiful weekend. Lots to do, and many gorgeous orchids to see and acquire. Wishing you good treats this month with very few tricks! Gail Board Meeting 2 President
