The Seminole Bromeliad & Tropical Plant Society is an affiliate of the Bromeliad Society International
and of the
Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies. It is a circle of the
Sanford Garden Club and thus affiliated with the Florida Federation of
Garden Clubs.
SBTPS is a membership based fellowship of Bromeliad & Tropical Plant enthusiasts
that promote and develop public awareness of the diverse plant
family Bromeliaceae (Bromeliads). We share and exchange information
concerning the culture, identification and hybridization of bromeliads. In
acknowledging our members parallel gardening interests and affiliations we
also promote many other Tropical Plant families that can be grown in our
transitional temperature zone.

MEETING INFORMATION
Our society meets the third Sunday of the month, 2PM at
the Sanford Garden Club, unless we have scheduled a special event or field
trip. Please see our meeting
schedule for the upcoming topics and events.

Last Meeting
10/26 Thank You to all the members who volunteered their
time for our annual Clean-up Day of the Sanford
Garden Club. And a special thanks to the members who donated
refreshments.
Next Meeting
11/16
There
has been a change in our Program Schedule and we will meet at the Garden
Club this month at the usual time (2pm).
OUR
PROGRAM:
Part
I: Please bring plants to sell or trade. There is
scarcely anything we enjoy more than buying, swapping and selling plants!
Please label your plants if you know their names, and indicate the price or
“trade value”. You keep 100% of your sale price.
Part
II: We (i.e., any members who are willing and able) will also have a
“plant clinic”, where plant problems will be discussed and remedies
offered; and unidentified plants may be brought for possible identification.
So bring plants you need cures or names for.
Part
III: There will be a brief business meeting: the slate of
officers for 2009 will be presented, and shall be elected if approved by a
majority vote of members present (per the existing Bylaws). The new
officers shall assume their duties on January 1, 2009, and will be
officially installed at the January meeting.
REFRESHMENTS
We
did not plan to have a regular meeting this month so we did not request
volunteer(s) to provide refreshments. Please call Jerry O’Keefe if
you can help this month (the November 16th meeting).
And
we still need two volunteers for the January 2009 meeting. Please
contact Jerry O’Keefe, our Hospitality
Chairman, (407-767-2442)
or email (euph2201@cfl.rr.com)
if you can help us out.

DECEMBER
PROGRAM
The
December meeting is our holiday luncheon. We will need a couple of
volunteers to help our Hospitality Chairman organize this event. The
Society will pay for the main entrée (usually a ham or turkey) and paper
plates, cups, napkins and utensils. At least three people will be
needed to do the setup work: put on the tablecloths, set up the serving
tables, tables and chairs, prepare coffee, etc.
All
members who can attend are asked to bring a covered dish, or other item
(bread, cranberry sauce, vegetable dishes, beverages, ice, desserts,
decorations for the tables, etc). Please contact Jerry O’Keefe if
you can help organize and/or bring a luncheon item. Also, please
bring a wrapped or covered plant to exchange. Keep in mind: bring a
plant of the quality that you would like to receive. A reminder
notice will be sent next month; meanwhile, please think about what you can
bring (food and plant) to make the day MORE FESTIVE AND ENJOYABLE.
