Next Meeting: Thursday 10th November 7:30pm
Gerda
Ferrington "Species
of the World"
Gerda
Ferrington from Barrie, Canada will address our society on
species of the world. Although there are more than 32,000
known species, she will cover some of the most popular and
some of the unusual within a 45 minutes time frame.
Gerda
Ferrington’s knowledge on orchids extends back into the
70's. She started her career with the AOS as a student
at the Great Lakes Supplemental Center for the Mid America
Judging Region in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In the spring of
1992 an application to create a supplemental judging center in
Toronto was accepted and the first judging was held at the
Ferringtons. In 1996 the center became independent
serving 13 orchid societies in the region including upper New
York. The new independent center holds monthly judging
training and an annual training with Ann Arbor and
Cincinnati. As an active accredited AOS judge, Gerda's
vast knowledge in orchids is known throughout the orchid
world.
Monthly
Program: ICU
During the
general meetings each month, we will start a new program call
the ICU - Doctor on Duty. During the brake session (only
15 minutes) while most of you will be enjoying the
refreshments, one can bring in a plant to have it looked at by
the ICU Doctor on duty. Remember to place the plant you bring
in into a clear plastic container. Please do not bring
in more than one plant to each meeting.
