Tampa Bay Fern Club

 

November Meeting

 

On November 20, 2002, we will have our monthly meeting.

Meeting Place:

The November meeting of the Tampa Bay Fern Club will be held on Wednesday, November 20th at the Seminole Garden Center, 5800 Central Avenue in Tampa. Please Note: This is the Third Wednesday, not the fourth Thursday! The doors open at 7:00 p.m. and the meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. sharp.

Bring in any "unknown" ferns for some help in finding the proper name.

Robert Arias will present the Fern Education part of the program.

Our Feature Program will be presented by Malcolm Smith. He will be discussing the care, feeding, and breeding of Adiantum species. Malcolm will also bring in plants for a "mini" Dutch auction after his program. The club will receive 10% of the proceeds of this auction. Malcolm has been a member of the Tampa Bay Fern Club for about three years. He is an excellent grower and will be sharing some of his secrets for growing maidenhairs. Don't miss this program and invite a friend or two to enjoy it also.

Rebecca Curry made a recommendation that the club expand its stated interest to include tropical plants, and that the name of the club be changed accordingly. There was some discussion among the members and the president will bring the matter before the Board for review and a recommendation. Ultimately, the membership will make the final decision.

There will be no Exchange Table or Sale Table at this meeting. They will be replaced by the "mini" Dutch auction.

I thank the people who brought refreshments to the October meeting and those who helped clean up the kitchen. Barbara Brisco is signed up for the November meeting, so I need a few more volunteers to help with refreshments and kitchen! Call me at (813) 839-2486.
