MAR 2011MAR 2011PAOSNewsPAOSNewsFrom the President’s DeskHello everyone!
It seems that the groundhog Punxsutawney Phil was rightwhen he came out of his cave last February 2 and predictedsix more weeks of winter. We sure had a cold and long onethis year.
But how do you like those blooms? I bet you agree with methat this is one of the most beautiful times of the year…Everywhere you look you see blooming orchids.
This weekend we will participate in the Fairchild TropicalGardens Orchid Show with a table top display.We also had a table promoting our society andrecruiting new members. I would like to thank inadvance all the Board Members that help set upthe display and volunteered at the recruiting table.
Next weekend, March 19 & 20, we will be con-ducting our first Conservation Project of theyear, by placing orchids on trees at Pinecrest Gar-dens. It will take place between 9:00 am andnoon both days. Try to arrive early, especiallySunday, to avoid the parking lot rush. We en-courage you to bring refreshments and suggestthat you bring enough for 2-3 people so we canall share.
This month’s speaker will be our good friend andgreat grower Dr. Ruben P. Sauleda. Ruben wasrecently featured in the Herald during the Tami-ami International Orchid Festival where he lec-tured on orchid care. For PAOS, he will be speak-ing on Orchids of Colombia.
We will see you at the meeting!
Next MeetingDate: March 15Time: 7:30 p.m.Place: Christ The King LutheranChurch, 11295 57th Avenue,Pinecrest, FL

MAR 2011MAR 2011PAOSNewsPAOSNewsThis Month at PAOS
“Orchids from Colombia” is the theme of RubenSauleda’s presentation at PAOS this month.More than an orchid aficionado, Ruben earned aPh.D. in orchid taxonomy – one more declara-tion of love for the resilient and delicate plants.In his presentation he will be sharing experi-ences form his trip in Bogotá, Colombia, includ-ing the 2010 Orchid Show.
According to Ruben, orchids need only fourthings: water, fertilizer, air and light. Those are the main ingredients for hissuccess. And you can witness it at Ruben in Orchids’ new location, a 6,400sqft greenhouse. Among the rarities found there are the ghost orchid, a SouthFlorida native, and the chocolate orchid, native of Cuba and the Cayman Is-lands. But it is his Ruben Verde that aficionados look for the most.
We look forward to seeing you at the next meeting, Tuesday, March 15.

MAR 2011MAR 2011PAOSNewsPAOSNewsAOS CornerSPRING FORWARD! We are always reminded of this catchphrase as we approach the beginning of Daylight SavingsTime. You might also use it as a reminder to spring forward --i.e. stepping up during National Volunteer Month (April).
The rewards of volunteerism are abundant but perhaps thebiggest payoff is the satisfaction of knowing you have contrib-uted your time, talent and energy to a good cause. In addi-tion, it provides social activity where you are with other like-minded people sharing a common bond or passion. Certainlythe orchid world is filled with volunteer opportunities at yourlocal society level or within the regional and national organizations to which you belong. You might considertaking refreshments to your society meeting, exhibiting your blooming plants or greeting visitors at a localorchid show or helping to repot orchids at a nearby botanical garden. All regional and national orchid or-ganizations need volunteers to serve on committees or to assist in planning meetings or speaker days. TheAmerican Orchid Society depends on national volunteers to serve on the many committees that make theorganization function and prosper. Our entire judging system is made up of dedicated volunteers whospend years preparing for and later conducting the business of the many judging centers around the coun-try in such a professional manner. Please consider being a volunteer.
SPRING TIME IS PRIMETIME FOR ORCHID SHOWS! Check the AOS site (www.aos.org) for an updated list-ing of orchid shows and events. Get involved if your society is hosting a show….you will enjoy the back-stage peek at what it takes to produce these events. If you can’t volunteer your time at a show, you cansupport local shows by attending to listen and learn from the speakers and workshops plus shopping to sup-port the show’s vendors.
SPRING AOS MEMBERS MEETING
