Why should I come to a meeting?

Meetings are fun, educational, and a good opportunity to learn and share knowledge of successfully growing African violet and other gesneriads. Participation is at your discretion. No member is forced to participate beyond their comfort level. Prepare to have fun and meet people that share a common interest.

Can I come to a meeting if I do not pay for membership?

Yes! We encourage you to come to a few meetings before joining, so that you have the opportunity to get to know us a bit better and see if the club meets your expectations. We limit participation in raffles, door prizes and purchasing supplies to members only.

If I sign up to bring Door Prizes, how many do I bring?

Bringing door prizes is voluntary. You are only expected to bring door prizes if you have signed up to bring them that month. There is no limit to how many door prizes you can bring. It is up to your discretion. Typically, members bring in a minimum of three. You must be a member to take part in door prize raffle and must be present to win. All the raffle money goes into the club treasury.

Do we ever have a meeting where members bring plants and leaves for sale or trade to other members?

Members can’t bring plants or leaves to sell at club meetings. Members can bring plants or leaves to donate to the club raffle table. Members can also bring non plant gently used items for the raffle table. All proceeds from club raffle goes to the club treasury. You can also bring plants to donate to the Ways & Means Supply table. Proceeds from that sale goes to club treasury. It is members responsibility to dispose of raffle table and Supply table plants that are not sold. We have Leaf Bingo once a year and that is always a good opportunity to grow your collection.

Do we ever have ‘open houses’, where the group visits other members’ homes to see their plants and gardens?

Activities and programs for the club are always evolving and input for activities and program ideas are welcome from all members. We have had excursions to outside gardens of interest, both public and private. Membership meetings generally take place in a public venue, but on rare occasions, we have met at individual members’ homes.
