The meeting will be at the BP Energy Center at the corner of Benson Blvd. and Seward Hwy.  this month.  We will begin gathering at 6:30 PM with the program beginning at 7:00 PM.  The program will be a slide show of Paphiopedilum and Phragmipediums along with some discussion about preordering orchids for our January 28th meeting.

Regarding preordering, go to lehuaorchids.com and look around. In addition to Paphs and Phrags you will also find some Lycaste orchids available. I am attaching a form Graham sent me to list your orders on. You can email them directly to him, graham@lehuaorhchids.com, anytime between now and January 15th, which is a hard deadline. I would suggest you CC your order to me so I can be sure he has all of them. Just list your plants on the form and attach to an email with the subject line “Alaska pre-order” so they accumulate in his in box. Pricing will be the Alaska price plus $1 or, if their is no Alaska price listed, plus $2. FYI, Graham is a wholesaler and the prices do reflect that—this is a great opportunity. The plants will be shipped to me just before the program on January 28th and distributed at the meeting. Payment will be collected at the meeting when the orchids are distributed. Payment must be cash or check—no credit cards are accepted. Please note: Graham will NOT be bringing extra orchids for purchase at the January meeting—you must preorder by January 15th if you would like some new plants. If you would like to order something, but won’t be in town for the January meeting let me know and I can probably babysit them for you for a little while. On a personal note, may I say this is the easiest order we have ever placed and I really, really like it! Be sure to mark January 28th on your calendar so you don’t miss this meeting! Let me know if you have any questions.
