OSET
Board Meeting
The OSET board met October 11th
to plan next year’s meeting schedule. Since we do not have a program chairman,
it was decided that each board member would be responsible for 2 programs each
next year.
Therefore, Dave Heaton will do a
program on June 2nd and Nov 3rd. Trish Jenkins will be
responsible for May 5th and Oct 6th. Linda Lee Earl will
take the February 3rd meeting. I will be responsible for April 7th
and Sep 8th.
The club needs a Program Chairman. The
board hopes that someone will step up this year and learn “the ropes” in
preparation for the 2014 program year.
We also agreed that OSET would once
again set up at the Johnson City Home and Garden Show in February, the
Knoxville and Ashville Orchid Shows in March, Exchange Place in April and
Jonesborough Garden Gala in May. Please consider volunteering for these events.

Just
for Fun
I posted this link on OSET’s face book
page the other day and am posting it here for non -face book users. The link is
to a book review on a new orchid book published that tells the story of Michael
Kovach and the Peruvian Phrag that he brought back to the states and had named
after him.
“ The title of this new book by Craig
Pittman, "The Scent of Scandal: Greed, Betrayal, and the World's Most
Beautiful Orchid," is designed to catch the reader's eye but it is not to
be taken literally.”
