Holiday Party
Our annual Holiday Party Potluck Dinner will be December 20th beginning at 7:00.
Since orchid lovers come from all over the world, which is reflected in our membership,
we have decided to ask everyone to bring a dish from their ethnic background. This
should be a lot of fun, as we will have a chance to sample food from many cultures.
Non-alcoholic beverages will be provided, but you may bring wine if you choose.
Guests are welcome, but we need to know how many people are in your party so we
will set up enough tables and chairs. We will also be ordering orchid plants from
Kawamoto Orchids again this year, which will be passed out at the party. We need to
know how many plants to order (one plant per membership), so please RSVP to
Charlotte Morrison at 310-316-8193 or clazarmorrison at yahoo.com by December 13
and let her know how many are in your party and if you will be bringing an appetizer,
salad/vegetable, main dish, or dessert.

December President’s Message
