July Program: Ice Cream Social

with Plant Show-and-Tell

Are you ready for an evening of fun and fellowship? If so, bring your dessert stomach to the July meeting and fill it up with cookies and ice cream. If you signed up to bring cookies, ice cream, or ice cream toppings, please try to arrive by at least 7:00 p.m. If you didn’t get signed up, but want to bring ice cream, cookies or toppings, please do! Those who bring ice cream should also bring a scoop with your name on it. Our ice cream social will start shortly after 7:00 p.m.

As most of you know, we usually do not have a featured speaker for our July Ice Cream Social. Instead, we do something totally different and fun! Barbara Wagner has suggested we have Show and Tell again, as it’s been a long time since we last tried it. So this month you, our members, are asked to be the presenters at a Great Gala Show & Tell. Please bring one of your favorite plants, or an interesting or unusual plant, and give us a few minutes presentation. Do not be shy, we’re all friends! Let us know why this particular plant is a favorite. Give us the growing requirements, general information about it, and describe the bloom if it’s not in season. If you can tell us where you got it and how long you’ve had it that would be great. Everyone loves to see new...or tried and true heat resistant... plant introductions. You don’t have to stand up in front of the group if you don’t want to. Just set your plant, or a stem of it, in front of your spot and the curious will find you! If you have a favorite or unique growing tip or technique that you could demonstrate in a few minutes, that would also be a great addition to our 'Show & Tell'. It’s going to be a fun evening. What could be better....friends, ice cream and plants? See you there.
