Spring Regional Meeting, Winchester, VA hosted by C&P Perry Dyer will be our guest speaker and give garden training of seedlings at Winterberry Gardens featuring introductions and seedlings of our Region 4 hybridizers: Anita Moran, Don Bryan and Ginny Spoon, Clarence Mahan, Griff Crump, the Stoll family, Jim Schroetter, Pat Otterness, Kristen Laing, Mike Lockatell and others. Contact Ginny Spoon for more information vspoon@aol.com or 540-888-4447 Note: This schedule is subject to change so please check your next newsletter for any changes in times, places or dates or email the editor at: vspoon@aol.com Due to the forecast for an ice storm and the fact that I was also very sick with a bad cold, we had to cancel our December meeting in McLean. We didn’t get the storm until later that evening but it was quite a bad one here in Winchester. Now that spring is on the way we are looking forward to our next meeting which includes a barbeque lunch. We hope you can join us at the McLean Governmental Center on Saturday, March 15th from noonuntil 4 p.m. We will have a general meeting to elect officers for the new term (2008-2009). The slate of officers from the nominating committee is as follows: President: Ginny Spoon Vice President: Griffin Crump Secretary: Linda Hall Drake Treasurer: Ramon Jones We also need to vote on a change to our bylaws to change the August election month to September since we have our fall picnic in September instead of August. Also there is a change so that our treasurer can serve for more than two terms. See the underlined section of the Bylaws in this newsletter. We are looking forward to hosting the spring Region 4 meeting in Winchester. We have used the mild days to clean up the garden and Don has built some new stone walls. We have also added several new beds and planted over 150 irises this fall, and 750 since last spring. Some of the plants were in pots and some were new acquisitions from hybridizers all over the country.  Next C&P
