First we have the AGM at which the Executive for the following two years will be elected.

Following the AGM, Ben Boers will give an illustrated presentation on orchid culture as practised in his greenhouse.  Then we indulge in whatever strawberry-themed goodies you, the members, provide (finger-food only, remember, as we have no kitchen facilities). Also bring any orchid-related donations for the raffle table and your wonderful blooming orchids for the Show Table. And be prepared to enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The formal meeting starts at 2 pm, but you are invited to arrive as early as 1:30 to get settled, socialize, and interact with vendors . The meeting takes place at the RBG headquarters, 680 Plains Rd. W., Burlington, probably  in rooms 3 and 4 (check upon arrival). Masking or not will be according to personal preference. Members and guests welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ever-popular Strawberry Social returns!
