How come? - Orchid Board

I don't hear from members in Hawaii since orchids are landscape plants there? Is it maybe because they are so common? I mean we don't have a board (that I know of) for dandelions

I tried to look at the member map but it must have been down (all I got was two yellow rectangles with X's in the top left corner.) This is just from the curious side of my brain (which seems to have swelled lately)

I don't remember every getting any members from Hawaii. We all would have made a big fuss about it, like when you went. You are the one who visited Hawaii right? It would be nice to get more Pacific Islanders on the Board.

Let's see.

how do we stir up some OB excitement in Hawaii?

Any ideas?

I agree!

We need more representation from our orchid state. How do we do this? Ideas?

I have an idea! Marty -- how about creating (or having created) an ad page that can be downloaded and printed out by members for distribution at shows or mailed to vendors, etc.? Just a thought. It should be pdf so most folks can take advantage.

Note to self: remember, Hawaii is 5 hours after you! Or is that earlier?

We could send out email invitations to the Hawaiian Orchid Societys from the AOS list American Orchid Society - Affiliations
