Spring Auction at April Meeting
A Great Success
Our Spring auction was held at our April Meeting. Over 20 people attended and most bid on one or more orchids. Several items were bid up well beyond the opening bid.
A few members who were unable to attend in person had a chance to get some plants afterwards at the opening bid price. We do have a few plants left, which will be sold at our May meeting.
A big thank you to John Zygmunt for his donation of several miniature orchids and some attractive ceramic pots.
Thanks also to Pete O'Connell for arranging the orchid order and Jane Trey for receiving and transporting the plants and organizing the auction.
