The SWROGA show was a great success. We were congratulated by many of our out of town guests who not only stated that the show was well done and that they had a wonderful time. I hope all of you had a good time as well. 

Special thanks needs to go out to several people who contributed a great deal of time and effort to the success of the show. The greatest contribution came from James whose guidance led to our wonderful show. Great job James! We cannot forget Bob Lank who not only kept the finances in order but was also our printer. The forms, club shirts, and “goodie bags” were the products of Lata’s inventive mind. Further contributions came from John and Sue Ellen. Those of you who enjoyed our great feasts and hospitality room owe thanks to Boots, Marie, and Valerie. Bob Danka was responsible for plant registration and AOS judging. I hope all of you who clerked felt that your efforts were worthwhile and you learned what makes one orchid better than another.

Those of you who didn’t attend the lectures missed some information packed talks well worth the money. Thanks Frank. Registration for the show and raffle ticket sales was ably managed by Sue Ellen, Valerie, Patty, and others.

Without doubt, the reason we had such good attendance was due to great publicity arranged by Danna. Your efforts have achieved a new level of excellence. Boots and her gang put together a beautiful exhibit to represent the club. We also need to recognize the best educational exhibit by Frank. And finally; many thanks to all of you who helped out. I hope to see all the plants you bought in bloom next year.
