Members – Guests - New Members It was nice to see so many people attend the August meeting. As I walked around the room and talked to some of the people, I was surprised to find so many who were attending for the first time. I felt it was important to acknowledge them in a positive way, and show them that we appreciated their visit. We even had a few who signed up or said they will be coming back. A special thanks to Mei B. Sato for greeting and interacting with all attendees. And special thanks to John Tarvin for providing seeds, and giving our members and guests a little something extra. Committee Chairs and Volunteers Where would the society be without you? Can you imagine if James and Roxanne Munoz could not do the members’ raffle and the AV? It would not be the same meeting. Thank you Munoz Ohana for all you do to make our meetings so enjoyable. Thank you Mike Fry and Lee Spacht, and many of the other helpers that helped set up and break down the meeting, making Leeann Montgomery’s job a little easier. Thank you to Mike Fry for volunteering your truck to help us move things back to storage. Gia - you did a great job with the store. There are SO many I have to thank for making our meetings run smoother.

Congratulations to Sandra Cotter who created the designs for both the t-shirts and the new window clings. Both items will be available for purchase at the next meeting. Last call y’all!

Lernie Buehler will be indoors ready to give you a henna tattoo, or you can pick up one of her handmade plumeria rings or candle holders. Mahalo, Manny Plumeria Day at the L.A. Arboretum The L.A. Arboretum hosted their 4th annual Plumeria Day on July 28, and the South Coast Plumeria Society and many of our members were there! The star of the event was the plumeria grove, which boasts over 100 trees. There were tours of the grove, workshops, and vendors that all contributed to a successful event. The SCPS had an information booth at the event and signed up several new members. Many thanks go to Adrienne Libman who helped at the booth, and Mei Sato who helped with the free raffle. Although this was not an SCPS sponsored event, many of our members helped make it happen. Diana Donnellan helped organize the event and the volunteers, many of whom are SCPS members. They maintain the plumeria grove throughout the year. On Plumeria Day, they gave tours of the plumeria grove, helped with set up, and took pictures. Some of our members who volunteered were Phil Kinoshita, Mei Sato, Philip Wong, Lee Spacht, Stephanie Clayton, Lali O’Connor, Linda Ohara,

Several of the vendors at the event were also SCPS members including David Konishi, Georgia Caverly, Pam Murphy, Ellen Panaro, Erik Jordan, Eleazar Luna, Ou Te, Brendon Dorish, Richard Gallegos, and Joyce Biondolillo. It was a great event, despite the heat! The L.A. Arboretum, which is located in Arcadia, has wonderful gardens and beautiful peacocks roaming the grounds. If you missed the event, you can still visit the arboretum and the plumeria grove, which is in full bloom.
