President s Message I d like to thank the entire show committee and all who volunteered to help make the show a great success. The new venue was well received by the vendors and members alike. Although our members received too many awards to mention here, I would like to congratulate John Crooker for his five awards. The awards will be listed on our website. It was my pleasure to award the Orchid Digest award to Les and Peg Regenbogen. It was well deserved after all their many years of work in the society and the shows. NHOS Exhibit We had a good presentation at the Amherst Show thanks to Chuck & Sue Andersen, Leigh Coolidge, Lee Brockmann and Jean Stefanik who entered plants with Jan s and mine. March is our new member meeting. Steve S. March Meeting Hospitality Please remember to bring food to the Meeting March 2016 2 NHOS Newsletter
