We want to thank our last speaker, Gil Mac Adams, who

visited us for the second year in a row and gave us an

expanded program on landscaping for wildlife, with some bromeliads placed strategically among the shrubs and trees and fine whistles.

At this meeting, the Board will be voting on a proposed change in the By-Laws to allow for advancing the payment of dues from end of May to end of January. As explained at the previous meeting, payment in January is sought to align us better with the Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies (FCBS) so that every active member of our Society will be included in the yearly edition of the State Roster and will be able to receive the Council’s quarterly newsletter. As you know, amendments to the By-Laws have to be voted by the membership at a General Meeting. The current text of the

article in question and the wording of the proposed amendment is shown in p. 5.. I hope all members find this change acceptable and will vote in favor.

In the meantime, move your plants around to more shaded places to avoid the damages of the intense sun we are now

enjoying. And remember for our wet days, where there is rain followed by strong sun, burning spots will develop very

rapidly.
