For those who may have missed this message due to holidays/snow, etc: About
10 people have expressed interest in forming a U.S. National Capital (DC)
area CP club/society, perhaps as an adjunct to the Eastern U.S. CP club
(itself part of the ICPS). The purpose, again, would be to allow DC-area CP
enthusiasts a chance to get together on a more regular (and easily reachable)
basis to trade plants, swap information, etc. I've even volunteered to
write/edit an irregular newsletter for the group, highlighting upcoming
events, classifieds, growing tips, etc. One advantage of capital-area club, I
think (and at least some others agree) is the exposure potential: I'd like
one goal to be working to improve displays/access at such resources as the
U.S. Botanical Gardens, the National Arboretum, etc. As some have mentioned,
the purpose of such a group would not be to compete with other, more
established clubs around the nation or planet, it would be to supplement th
ose efforts on a local basis. Those who are interested, or who know people
without listserv access who might be interested, please drop me a line.
Thanks again. (and I promise, I won't bring this up again (for a while))
