Pres. John suggested we go up to $15 on dues. He also suggested we find old members from the club
and bring them back. Brenda Daigle suggested we get back to the basics of grooming, culture, and green
growing to bring back members who have dropped out of the society and entice new ones to join.
The editor of the Belguim Orchid "Gazette" spoke to the N.O. Orchid Society. (I think this was
mentioned by our Pres. because he visited John's home and greenhouses).

newsletter for December.
