July 11, 2021 Virtual & Members’ In Person Meeting : Propagating Plumeria From Cuttings and Seeds

It is with great happiness that we would like to invite members (only) to attend the July 2021 meeting at Jean Farb Middle School. We have just received the ok that we can hold this meeting in person at the school. We would love to see you, but we do ask that if you are not feeling well, have any symptoms of COVID-19, have been exposed to anyone with COVID-19 or have travelled anywhere with high or sustained community spread of COVID-19 within the last 14-days, that you not attend.  If you are fully vaccinated, you do not need to wear a mask, but if you are not vaccinated please wear a mask.  Also, if you are vaccinated and would prefer to wear a mask, please do.  And please remember that “Masks are optional, but smiles are mandatory”.

For this meeting, we are not asking our members for donations of refreshments or of items for the raffle table. Just bring yourselves. We will be providing bottled water. To help us keep track of how many people will be attending, members need to register via the link sent in the eNewsletter. Although we are gathering, we are going to have it be a little pared down from our usual meetings. Jeff Sharp will be at the meeting selling scholarship/educational outreach cuttings before the meeting. Tina O’Neill will be ready to renew memberships. Richard Pires will be selling items for Plumeria (fertilizer, coir, etc.) at this meeting – he will not be bringing the full SCPS store inventory to this meeting. Members who prefer to attend via Zoom should register via the link in their eNewsletter. Our goal is to be fully up and running for the August 2021 meeting.

July also brings two annual happenings to SCPS – and we will have in-person voting at the July meeting:

1. Board Member Elections. For July 2021, we have three board members positions up for election/re-election. The positions that will be available are those of Jonathan Arendt, Jeff Sharp and myself. The candidate biographies are below.
2. Voting for Photos for the next SCPS calendar.  We will again be creating a calendar featuring photos from SCPS members. Please remember the sale of our SCPS calendars benefit the educational outreach / scholarship fund.
