9th Annual Tucson Dinner 2005
http://www.ganoksin.com/events/
Rio Grande Baquette Sponsor
Several major trade events in the US provide occasions when Orchid
members meet outside the virtual world. Members of the Orchid Forum
gather together for dinner, allowing an opportunity to put together
names and faces.
An Orchid Event helps all of us in dispersing about
Ganoksin and its vast resources. Additionally, the group mind of
Orchid comes together to strengthen our community and share in
common experiences.
Once again, the Tucson Gem Show is approaching quickly, and we are
looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. This
year is especially exciting as we have a new venue for the Orchid
Dinner and Silent Auction.
Located in Tucson’s historic “Trail Dust” section, The Savoy Opera
House is a complete recreation of authentic, turn-of-the-century
charm based on the famous Savoy Hotel in London. Enter the Savoy
Opera House through the intricate wood and beveled-glass French
doors imported from the original hotel, and bask in the light of
elegant Victorian chandeliers, traditional opera boxes, antique
back-bars and pressed tin ceilings.
Attending an Orchid Dinner is your time to interact with other
Orchidians, meet people from trade publications and suppliers, and
relax after a long day. Every year the Orchid Dinner grows in
popularity and is fast becoming the “must attend event” for gem show
enthusiasts! Also returning is Dr. E. Aspler (Hanuman) and his
assistant Ton, who travel all the way from Bangkok, Thailand.
New for this year is “Orchid Shares”, a special table set aside for
postcards, brochures and catalogs. If you have to share,
please bring it with you to the Dinner.

Orchid Silent Auction
Each year, a silent auction is held to help raise funds to maintain
the high cost of Ganoksin=92s computer server which houses thousands
of technical protocols, video, bench tips, galleries and the Orchid
archives.
Great donations result in lively and active bidding! At our last
event, donations included a Bonny Doon Hydraulic Press, workshop
tuitions, the full collection of the Orchid Pins, plus much, much
more. There is fast and furious bidding among participants, so don’t
miss out!
If you would like to donate to the silent auction, here’s a great
opportunity to clear your studio of those odds and ends, while
supporting Orchid at the same time! Donate to silent auction
