The meeting will be at 12:30 p.m. Monday, March 18 at St. Michael & All Angels Episcopal Church, 2304 Periwinkle Way.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their “ill or hurricane challenged” orchids to the meeting for diagnosis during Show and Tell. There will be no Fundamentals Session at this time and society membership and guest fees will be waived.
