<I am pleased to announce that our May 21, 2016 meeting will be held at the Huntington Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California, just east of Pasadena. If you haven't been to the Huntington in a few years, you will be amazed at the expansion that has taken place. Give yourself time to take in the Chinese garden, as well as the world-renowned palm collection.

http://www.huntington.org/

There will be free admission to the gardens and library. Again, give yourself time to enjoy it all, and attend the meeting and auction.

San Marino and nearby Arcadia have an abundance of excellent restaurants ranging from affordable to grand, in a large variety of cuisines, including Chinese.

The Board of Directors Meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. Non-members of the board are welcome to attend. Click on the link below for directions to the Huntington.

Thank you for your support and see you there!

For the condition it was "supposed" to be in, looked pretty great to me! Should have been there Josh.. I need to do 2 days in a row there to take it all in... A Ton more Cycads Thanks to Lorans' bequest. Not all out and easy to see, but you can see large area to the south of the European house where it looks that many will be placed.
