Everyone, we are pleased to announce that the PSSC's meeting on May 17, 2025 will be in Seal Beach, Orange County, in two gardens, by the sea. One is older, the other is relatively new.

We are currently attempting to collect as many of our publications as possible. Primarily, this centers around back issues of The Palmateer, but could also include publications that were not published in our aforementioned quarterly or exist only as paper documents. Many of our former board members, current members, and past meeting attendees are active on the PalmTalk forums or on Facebook. Effectively, this is an all call for assistance. If you have any of the following, please post them her…
