Past President, Jim Smith, is going to present a propagation demonstration including hands-on practice by members who attend the September chapter meeting next week. Jim will provide the cuttings, four-inch pots, planting medium and other materials for his demonstration. We hope to have a great turnout for the meeting! Many of the cuttings from this demonstration will be grown for the next two years in order to sell at the conference we are hosting in 2010.

Here is what Jim needs from those of you who have any type of WARMING BED MAT systems- Jim is asking you to assist by contacting him if you will take a flat(s) of propagated cuttings to grow for sales at our Western Regional Conference in October 2010. If you have any type of warming system that would work for this project, please call Jim Smith at 541-268-6821 (this is a Mapleton phone number and is NOT a long distance call from Florence). He is awaiting your call right now! Thanks for your help, and we'll see you next week at the meeting!
