| Sun. June 7, 2009 | GROS Picnic - Ellison Park Sycamore Shelter - Noon |
Membership in the GROS offers many benefits:

Our annual Picnic, the GROS' final event before our break for the summer months, starts at Noon, and the grill is usually ready to go within the hour.
The GROS will supply hamburgers, hot dogs, veggieburgers, rolls, condiments, beverages (soda, beer, water, etc.) and “place settings” including plates and dinnerware (genuine plastic.) Each member should bring some kind of dish to pass such as hors d'oeuvres, salads, baked goods, casseroles, desserts, etc. It’s all free to all GROS members and their families/significant others. Here's a map of Ellison Park for your reference.
Grazing, schmoozing and a short orchid meeting - with a Show Table - are the official "planned" Picnic activities. Some members always seem to have some interesting extra plants to sell at low “end of season” prices, too. The weather forecast is great! (NB: There are no regular meetings in July or August; our meetings will resume in September, 2009. Have a great summer! )
Our regular meeting night is the first Monday following the first Sunday of each month. We occasionally change the meeting date as our schedule requires, but we always list the correct date well in advance both on this website and in our monthly newsletter.Our meetings are open to everyone without charge - feel free to attend and find out what our Society is all about!
Meetings typically consist of a brief business meeting to conduct our club's routine activities, a special presentation on an orchid subject, an orchid raffle, and a show table where members display their flowering plants for everyone to see.
