We will have several large orchids that need dividing and members can help with dividing and repotting these. Members can also bring one of two of their own orchids to be repotted and someone will help them as time permits. Please bring media and a few possible pot sizes to repot them in. 

We will do these simultaneously, so there will be a lot going on, like a 3-ring circus. The divided plants will be raffled off. All members get one free raffle ticket.

​

Our meeting is held at the Vestal United Methodist Church, 328 Main St, Vestal NY.  Come at 1:30 to help set up and socialize, meeting starts at 2 pm. We will wrap up around 4 pm. Refreshments generally show up. This is the last meeting until September. We will talk about a picnic in the summer. We will try to Zoom the first part of this meeting, but not the repotting part. Watch your email for a Zoom link.

Officers and Committee Chairs Positions Available

​​

We have nominations for officers in September and there are other positions available as well. If you would like to learn more about orchids and get to know other members of the club, the best way is to get involved. There are many things you can do to help keep the club going, and without your help the club will just fade away. The more people involved,  the less work there is for any one person.

​

I have been doing way too much for too long and I plan to step down from most of my positions (see list under Member Info). STOS needs you to step up. You don't need to know anything about orchids to hold a position, you just need some organizational skills; some computer skills help as well. And enthusiasm for orchids and keeping the club alive. We will discuss specifics at the May meeting.

I hope to see many new and old faces there.
