The club decided several months ago to reschedule the show at Rainforest Flora to August 28 -29 because of a conflict with the Bromeliad Society International's World Convention in New Orleans. We are planning a bus trip on October 30 to points North. The cost for members is $16. A flyer for the bus trip and a photo of where to meet in the South Bay Galleria is also enclosed. You can sign up and pay for the bus trip at the show. Ted Johnson, President (310) 541-4185 (Bus trip flyer is attached (PDF file); I will see about obtaining the photo which is mentioned and will put any files up on the LBVBS website. Flyers for their show will likely be available at our meeting, and a summary of their show announcement will be in our August newsletter. -- Ed.) **************************************************************** Administrivia The La Ballona Valley Bromeliad Society meets the fourth Wednesday of each month, January through October, in the Rotunda Room at Veterans' Memorial Hall, 4117 Overland Avenue, Culver City.
