Presented by the Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies

Hosted by the Bromeliad Society of Broward County

 

By Jose Donayre

The Bromeliad Society of Broward County has taken the

challenge of organizing the 2007 Extravaganza after the very successful one hosted by our sister Society, the Bromeliad

Society of South Florida. It follows other annual Extravaganzas organized by the Sarasota Bromeliad Society in 2005 and the West Coast Bromeliad Society in 2004 among the recent ones.

 

Since the 2008 world Bromeliad Conference will take place in Cairns,. Australia , this one and other Extravaganzas to come will be the only major bromeliad events until the year 2010.

 

The Hotel selected for the event is the recently renovated Hilton Fort Lauderdale airport Hotel located outside (immediately South) of the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood airport at the

intersection of Griffin Rd and I-95, making it extremely

accessible whether you come by air or land. The event will take most of the second floor of this luxury Hotel, with ample facilities for the sale, lectures, banquet and rare plant auction in the

program. There will be convenient areas to ensure for relaxed

conversation and group encounters.

 

For those venturing out to visit the many Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood attractions,  museums, beaches, shopping, casinos and entertaining complexes, restaurants and the like , the Hotel provided services will accommodate you.

 

The very special room rates will be available until September 14th. When making reservation it will be necessary to mention that guests are attending the 2007 Bromeliad Extravaganza. We have reserved a block of rooms for September 28th and 29th, 2007 at the rate of $89.00 for a single or double room. Plan to take advantage of the event to spend a long weekend in the area,
