Since most societies do not publish their event dates until about 1-3 months before, the above future events are published with the month of the event, TBD - "To Be Determined", and then the date of their last known event.
Material submitted to this website, that the editor considers inappropiate or inflamatory may not be published, and is done so at the discretion of the editor, Audrey Young-Tarter.
This Calendar may not always be current or up to date, as the various societies do NOT send me their show / meeting information. I have to go to their websites, Facebook pages and newsletters, and google as much as I can to try to update this page, as best as I can. I try to do the best that i can.
If you wish your orchid society monthly meeting information to be updated here, please send me the necessary info, in the above format, and I will be happy to upload, and help you out as best as I can.
