Churchville, PA 18966
Show Table Setup and Dinner Setup - 6:00 p.m.
This is the final BCOS meeting before our sum-mer break. Join us for the annual awards cere-mony and pot-luck din-ner. This is our annual get-together and one of the best evenings mem-bers of the Society have enjoyed over the years. If you’re going to attend please contact President Sandy Kern [email protected] or phone: 215-801-9406 and let her know you are going and if you are bringing a guest. It would be helpful to know what dish you plan to bring so that we don't have too many of the same dish. Members with surnames beginning with A through L should bring a side or a salad , and members with sur-names beginning with M through Z should bring an entrée. Portions should be family sized. Each attending member household will receive an or-chid. For those attending please contact Sandy as soon as possible so that we can get a count and know how many orchids to order. Dessert, red and white wine and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided by the Society. Other alcoholic bev-erages are B.Y.O.B., Note that this meeting is on our regular monthly meeting night at the Churchville Nature Center, a change from pri-or years. There will be a Show Table at the din-ner so bring your blooming plants.
Have a great
summer, and
don’t forget to
re-pot your
orchids!!
