President’s Message
I hope everyone is trying to stay cool
as the temps rise to heights we haven't
seen in a while.
I want to remind all of you that the
Society needs your help, there are a
few positions that need to be filled on
the Board, Vice President, Treasurer,
and a Trustee. We cannot keep the
society running without volunteers
making things happen. We wouldn't
have speakers if it were not for the
Vice President, we couldn't pay bills
and keep the finances in check if not
for a Treasurer, and in order to make
it all come together the trustees round
out the Board. Please see Norm
Selander-Carrier if you are interested
in any of these positions as this is how
the society is run. If you have any
questions on what the responsibilities
of these positions are please ask, we
would love you on the board. I hope
you can commit to make the Board
full. Thanks.
Annual Membership is right around
the corner, remember in order to get
into the IPA meeting (free of charge) in
September your membership needs to
be current. Memberships run
September 1st to August 31st each year.

Mark your calendars now for what will be an amazing regional meeting of the International
Phalaenopsis Alliance.
Our featured guest speaker is the return of one of our most popular speakers, Mike Mims, a hobby-
hybridizer from North Carolina, who has already garnered several AOS awards to his
Phalaenopsis, including a coveted FCC/AOS. Mike has been focusing his breeding program on
fragrant brilliantly colored waxy novelties and this time he has told us he will be bringing seedlings
from some of his newest crosses for sale.
Carri Raven-Riemann will be presenting an update on the newest in Phalaenopsis breeding as seen
at the 2018 Taiwan International Orchid Show. The advances over the last few years have been eye-
popping and forward thinking, including new directions in breeding intergeneric Phalaenopsis
hybrids.
We will have a slightly different schedule from our previous seven years, starting a little later in the
morning (10 AM) and focusing on two speakers followed by a roundtable culture discussion. In
addition, we’ll have a mini auction along with lunch and snacks to keep us all going.
The New Hampshire Orchid Society will co-host us, as always, on Saturday, September 8, 2018 in
Bedford, NH.
Please go to https://www.nhorchids.org/event-2771757 to register. It’s free for members and $12 for

Have a wonderful summer and see you in September!

Are you a member of the American Orchid Society and / or Orchid Digest?
I'm realizing that there may be some real benefit to the NH Orchid Society if
members of NHOS indicate on their renewals or new memberships to both AOS
and OD that they are members of NHOS. Would anyone who is a member of
either, please do two simple things. First, please be sure to indicate on all
correspondence/renewal to AOS and OD that you are a member of the NH
Orchid Society. Second, it may be helpful for us to access the benefits, if you
please send me a quick email indicating which one or both that you belong to.
[email protected]. For those NHOS members who are NOT members of
either AOS or OD, please remember that NHOS is an affiliated society of both,
and the monthly publications are placed in our library... and you may borrow
them !
Thanks! Jean Stefanik, AOS and OD Representative
