I went to the meeting with my husband. I came home with 2 plants to try not to kill. By the time it was over, it was past our bedtime, and my husband was super anxious to get going because we get up early for work, so I didn't fill out the form and pay to join yet. I'm planning to do that next month.
It was very nice to meet the members and rather comforting that killing orchids seems to be the norm.
