WELCOME TO THE PRESIDENT'S CORNER - July 2008
Summer at last…
Hi Everyone,
Hope you’re all enjoying our beautiful summer days. We’re looking
forward to our annual Picnic Potluck at the Conservatory in
Volunteer Park on Sunday, July 20. Thank you again, Giselle for
arranging our venue and for the beautiful new brochures you’ve
done for us!
We also thank you for arranging such a wonderful time at the
Conservatory on “Second Sunday” in June. Nile Kurashige was on
hand for answering questions; Joyce Latino showed us how to
prepare nopales and gave us samples and a recipe. Lyn, Karen, Bill,
Nick and I were on hand to field questions and visit with guests. We
had a great turnout and a lot of fun.
Nick has been helpful in arranging to have our TOPSS at the Crossroads Mall in Bellevue this year,
Saturday & Sunday September 6 & 7. We have been trying to make arrangements to purchase Ruth
Basset’s lovely collection to sell at this event, and will need many members’ assistance in transporting it
when the time comes.
We’ve been invited to participate in The Evergreen State Fair in
August and Nick has accepted the invitation to show and judge.
Thank you, Nick.
The 2009 CSSA Convention is coming up: April 10 – 15, 2009
at the Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa in Tucson, AZ.
We have been invited to sell plants and plant related items.
More will be discussed at the coming meetings.
10 of my paintings are showing at the Wallingford Center
(lower level) with the theme, “Dream of Summer”.
Subjects range from oceanic to cactus.
That’s it for now. See you on Sunday the 20th.
...Sheila Scott, 2008 President of the CCSS of Washington State
