Re: [Aroid-l] MidAmerica Chapter announcement

From: Albert M Huntington <amh at ieee.org> on 2009.09.04 at 20:20:32 Folks,   I just wanted to take this opportunity to mention that Steve Lucas and I have been working on some tools to help anyone who is interested in forming local chapters of the IAS.    Please visit the new chapters page at http://www.aroid.org/society/chapters.php for more information on how the society can help out local groups with publicity materials, web space and advice.   I'd also like to mention that the West Coast chapter will be meeting on Sunday, October 18th at the UC Davis Botanical Conservatory.  We'll have talks, lots of plants for sale with the money going to support the hosting institution, and a tour of the aroid collection there.  For more information, see our webpage at http://www.aroid.org/westcoast/ --Albert From: Zach DuFran <zdufran@wdtinc.com> To: Discussion of aroids <aroid-l@gizmoworks.com> Sent: Friday, September 4, 2009 11:02:47 AM Subject: [Aroid-l] MidAmerica Chapter announcement =0A=0A=0A=0A =0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A =0A=0A Fellow Aroiders- =0A=0A   =0A=0A A new chapter of the IAS is beginning in the south central=0AUS.  The =E2=80=9CMidAmerica Chapter=E2=80=9D hopes to attract IAS members=0Afrom Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana and anyone else close enough to drive=0Ato our 3-4 meetings each year. =0A=0A   =0A=0A The inaugural meeting=0Awill be November 21 in=0A Oklahoma City, OK at the=0AMyriad Botanical Gardens.  This tropical conservatory contains=0Aan impressive collection of Palms, Cycads, Bromeliads, Gingers, Orchids, Euphorbias,=0ABegonias, and =E2=80=93 you guessed it =E2=80=93 Aroids! =0A=0A   =0A=0A There is a new page on the IAS website for this chapter,=0Awhich will be updated as more information becomes available.  http://www.aroid.org/midamerica/ =0A=0A   =0A=0A If you are in the area, please plan to attend this important=0Aevent.  It will be lots of fun and a great opportunity to meet others who=0Aare interested in Aroids.  We will take a tour, trade some plants among ourselves,=0Aand Steve Lucas might even share a report on the Aroid Show in=0A Miami . =0A=0A   =0A=0A Please contact me if you plant to attend or with any=0Aquestions you may have. =0A=0A   =0A=0A Thanks! =0A=0A   =0A=0A Zach DuFran =0A=0A zach@zachandchristie.com =0A=0A =0A=0A --0-732453484-1252095632=:51396----===============5244735735412846464==
