July AOS Corner

Monday, 19 July 2010 01:38 administrator

By: Chris Rehmann

Lynn Fuller, the new Affiliated Society Chairperson has given me this opportunity to introduce myself to each of the Affiliated Society members through the AOS Corner. I am your new AOS President and have the pleasure to serve each of you for a one year term.

Who am I? Well, I am an orchid hobbyist like most of you. I grow mainly Cattleya species with some multi-flora Paphiopedilums to take up the darker spaces in my greenhouses. In order to support my "orchid habit," I own a Civil-Environmental Engineering firm located in southern New Jersey.

The Affiliated Societies are the backbone of the American Orchid Society. We all probably started as a member of a local society to find more information about these beautiful flowers called, orchids. My local society is the Sandpiper Orchid Society, located near Atlantic City, New Jersey. This great group of orchid lovers has assisted me in many ways to cultivate better orchids.

AOS wants to hear from you!

Dear Fellow Orchidist,

AOS CARES! The American Orchid Society cares about YOUR opinions and YOUR needs. We want to hear from you whether or not you are a current member. We are ready to listen so please use the bottom of this page to note the 2-3 things you think AOS does RIGHT, and the 3-4 things you feel we need to WORK ON. Return this to your society's AOS Representative or President who will make sure we receive your response and you may be absolutely certain we will pay close attention to your message to us. Of course, you are welcome to return this directly to me. Thank you so much for taking the time to let us hear from you. I hope to have the opportunity to meet you at a future orchid event.
