The Illinois Orchid Society spring show, April 28-29 at Chicago Botanic Garden now has 27 vendors confirmed to attend, with a few more possibly on the way. We would love to have you all attend. The weather in the Midwest is not quite ready to be spring yet, and we will provide a warm, lush, beautiful retreat from the cold. It's just a couple of weeks before Mother's Day, and this might be a chance to get that perfect, budded orchid for Mom.
Our conference speakers are outstanding: Patricia Harding, Hadley Cash, Alfredo Manrique, and Dr. Eric Christensen, with lectures on Saturday and Sunday. Or you can attend our Celebration Banquet or Affiliated Societies Breakfast. Details are on our web page, www.iosoc.com <http://www.iosoc.com/> . If you mention OGD or Slippertalk, we will extend the early fees for registration and events. Please contact me at maoc2007chi <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> @earthlink.net if you have any questions. There are a few rooms still available at the Renaissance Hotel (847-498-6500) at the conference rate. We would love to see you all there. Lois
