[Aroid-l] 17th Eastern Cactus & Succulent Conference announcement

From: Ken Mosher <ken at spatulacity.com> on 2012.03.24 at 04:28:10(22663) The Connecticut Cactus & Succulent Society is hosting the 17th Eastern Cactus & Succulent Conference from Friday through Sunday, April 13, 2012 - April 15, 2012. The conference is being held in conjunction with our annual show & sale. This year the event will be held at the CoCo Key Water Resort and Hotel in Waterbury, CT. Full details are on the club's web site at http://ctcactusclub.com/EasternConference2012.aspx. +More Note that the location for the conference is different than where the show/sale has been held in the past. The college could not accommodate the conference so both events are being held at CoCo Key Water Resort and Hotel - only a couple of miles from the usual location. CoCo Key has a code for a special room rate for this event that covers Thursday night through Sunday night. The block of rooms has been released already BUT that does not mean there aren't rooms available at the event rate. It just means that the rooms that were initially set aside for us have been returned to the general room pool. I want to make sure that everyone understands that the annual show & sale is still free and includes everything it has always included - the fantastic judged cactus & succulent show and the vendor area with 19 vendors. And don't forget the free lectures and the auctions. The 17th Eastern Cactus & Succulent Conference requires separate admission of $135.00 and includes lectures by world-renowned C&S experts. There will be a reception on Friday evening and a private advance opening of the vendor area. ONLY conference attendees may visit the vendor area on Friday evening. There is also a banquet on Saturday night, for an additional fee, followed by the rare plant and book auction hosted by Jerry Barad. Rare plant and book auction proceeds benefit the Cactus & Succulent Society of America. Please peruse our web site, http://ctcactusclub.com, for full details of both events. Informational flyers and registration forms are available there along with a vendor list. Items for sale at the rare plant and book auction will be updated from time to time as they become known. Thanks, Ken Mosher, conference treasurer P.S. Please join us for the 17th Eastern Cactus & Succulent Conference!
