Are people interested in meeting up again this year? I had such a great time meeting folks face to face at the 2017 event that I want to be sure that everyone is included this time as well.
I propose that we set up this years event the same as last year’s. Same Restaurant, same day, same time, etc. I would also like to include a speaker or two. Naturally, this is up to the Orchid community’s consensus.
Thursday evening, February 1, at 7:00 PM, at:
Café a la C’Art
150 N. Main Ave.
Tucson, AZ 85701
(520) 628-8533
People wanted advanced notice on this dinner to make arrangements, which is why I am starting this discussion now. All arrangements can be changed. Nothing is yet set.
Oh how I wish I could attend. It was a good gathering last year. I’ll be tied to radiation treatments, so cannot make the trip. Best wishes and good hunting to everyone at the gem shows.

Dear Kim: There are 2 of us who would like to attend.

Believe it or not, I’ve never been to the Tuscon show. I’m thinking of going for a couple of days this year to scout it out, to see if KC wants to go as a company next year. I don’t have time (or reason) to go for the whole 10 days.
The Orchid dinner’s on the first. If you were going to pick a couple of days when the maximum number of vendors would be there, what days would you go, assuming an anchor on the first, for the dinner?
That’s a question that I think we all ask ourselves each year. I like going during AGTA week. I can never ever see everything, and I’m fast on my feet even in crowds. Two days is my minimum, so Thursday and Friday are my core days.
