Meetings take place at Mt. Carmel Lutheran Church,
8424 West Center Street, Milwaukee.
Our regular meetings are usually held on the first Sunday of each month. The room is available at 12:30. Plant judging begins at 1:00, and the business meeting is at 1:30, followed by the program. Library materials are available before and after the meeting.
The meetings generally offer a program, such as a guest speaker, judging and showing of members’ plants, and a social hour with refreshments. Other activities have included a holiday party, two “members’ plants” auctions (a great opportunity to obtain plants at reasonable prices), picnics, and bus trips to green houses and orchid shows.
Selections from our library of books, periodicals, videos, and tapes is available at most meetings. We also have a monthly newsletter with events, articles, orchid news from the Internet, and much more.
