4 American Orchid Society Corner: The American Orchid Society is busy with its Fall 2009 meetings in California, the winter show season and then we re right in to planning for the spring meetings in Oklahoma City in April These meetings and shows are a great opportunity to find the best orchids as well as make friends with people who have similar interests to yours. You do not have to be a member to attend any of the shows although being a member and helping with the show makes it a richer experience. You can find all of the details on shows and meetings in Orchids magazine or at our web site and then you can put it on your calendar so you won t miss any of the fun. While you are at the calendar and you see the holidays coming up, consider purchasing an orchid calendar, an AOS pin or an AOS membership as a gift for yourself or an orchid lover. You can get any of those off the web site or by calling and then you ll have that gift out of the way. If you are an AOS member you have free and discounted admission to more than 200 botanical gardens and arboreta - now that is a benefit many people are not aware of. Go to the join page of the web site to see the details of this offer. So you can buy someone an AOS membership and then expect them to take you to a garden for the day! Celebrate fall by going to an orchid show. Carol Holdren Affiliated Society Committee
