Our next scheduled meeting will be on March 3rd, 2pm for our Annual Member's Silent Auction in the Parish Hall at St. Augustine's Church in Baldwinsville, N.Y. Stay safe and warm!

For the March 3rd Silent Auction, any orchid or orchid related material can be donated to be bid upon. If you would like to donate any orchids, now would be a good time to divide them, repot them, inspect for insects or disease, and treat accordingly. Plants that appear to dying, or have insect pest or disease will not be allowed to enter the auction room. It will be very helpful to have a picture of the orchid flowers, cultural information and any interesting info about how you acquired the plant, and any other cool info.

What crazy weather here in CNY this month!!!!!
~ The next meeting is Sunday, March 3rd, at 2pm.
Program:  SILENT AUCTION
 
Bring extra plants to donate, anything you’ve divided (please be sure to label and use a clone name so we’ll know it’s a division)
 
 Any other items you’d like to donate are also welcome!!
 
~ There WILL be a Show Table  but  NO Raffle Table
 
~ New officers and any remaining positions will be discussed at meeting.
 
~ CNYOS Newsletter Editor position is still available. 
 

There will be a Show Table, but no Raffle Table for this meeting.  

 

~    MEMBERSHIP - Dues are now due! If you haven't paid yet, then you will be dropped from the email list for newsletters and will not receive links to the Zoom programs . Since we have been holding meetings with speakers both on Zoom and now in-person, we have resumed collection of dues. Please contact Sue Finger is you are not sure if your dues are paid. Thank you!

We have had a few volunteers for officers, and still need volunteers for other positions like newsletter editor. If you have ideas, questions or suggestions, please contact Jerry, Judi or Jan.  

 

We have shifted to posting, viewing and talking about orchids on our Facebook page. The link to our page is on the toolbar to the left. Check out our Facebook page; there are people from around the world who visit and upload orchid pictures, questions and comments. If you have orchids flowering now or they did flower during the last few months but meetings were canceled, head over to Facebook and upload these pictures and chat with people there! 

At our previous 2022 Fall Show and Sale, there were 3 AOS awards given! Show and AOS Awards pictures will soon be uploaded. Pictures of flowers, displays and artwork can be viewed on the Show Pictures page.

We are now collecting Dues for 2024 since we are holding meetings with paid speakers. If you would like to receive links to our meetings, then please submit your 2024 dues by March 31st to  Club Treasurer Sue Finger - Thanks!


Our orchid club is now on Facebook! Check it out here and let us know what else you think might be good to have on the site.

Our main website now hosts two photo galleries. One is our the Show Pictures page where images from our orchid shows can be viewed, The second is the Virtual Showtable page, which shows previous years' Member's flowering orchids, which hadn't cooperated by flowering during a show or meeting. This page has been superseded by our Facebook page, where members and many guests post and share orchid pictures. There are native orchid pictures which can be viewed; both links can be found to the left. 

 

Also a reminder that our newsletter and website have a section where Members can post a list of orchids or orchid-related items they wish to sell/buy/trade. If you are a neighboring orchid society (including Canada) and will be having an orchid auction, these can be listed there as well as on our events calendar. Send requests to Newsletter Editor Chris Smith

(csmith23 at twcny dot rr dot com) and your list will be put in the newsletter and on our website. Please submit your request at least two weeks before the next scheduled meeting - Thanks!

 

Hope to see you at our next meeting or event!

 

See the CNYOS calendar for other regional orchid-related events!
