Mr. Peter Lin will be speaking to us about Miniature Vanda. Peter started growing orchids over 25 years ago, but then stopped due to school and starting a career. It wasn't until about 10 years ago that the orchid "bug" came back and he is now heavily involved once again! He is an accredited judge with the American Orchid Society, and a hybridizer of mini-catts. He enjoys meeting with other orchid enthusiasts, and can often be found at various orchid shows and societies around the country. Due to limited growing space, Peter likes to specialize in miniature orchids, both species and hybrids, and has received numerous AOS awards. His other interests in orchids include Dendrobiums, Angraecoids, and Neofinetias. He maintains a collection of a thousand or more orchids at his home in Southern California in 3 small greenhouses, as well as indoors. ****************************************** As this is our Holiday Pot Luck, please bring a side dish to feed 6 people, your own table service and a beverage of your choice. The society will be furnishing the turkey and ham. Coffee will be available. Unfortunately we are not able to have alcohol. Remember, the dinner starts at 6 p.m. and set up is at 5:30 pm. The opportunity table will be furnished by Peter Lin so buy lots of tickets as he provides an outstanding table! Yes, there will be Show-N-Tell. Raffle 9:00pm
