Hang on to the SASE, send me Easter greetings, or whatever. Spread the word. Over&out. P-zon

The Louisiana Palm and Cycad Society had an educational and sales booth at the New Orleans Botanical Garden's fall show last weekend. The society won two awards, one for design and one for education but I don't know where they placed in these categories. The usual group of Ken (past president), Reed and Jayanne (VP) set-up the booth Friday afternoon. I think Ken has helped set-up for every show (spring and fall) for at least the last ten years! Here are Ken and Jayanne Saturday morning. Craig and I came by after the game to help break down the booth. Rod (president) and Suzanne (treasurer) also helped.
