The following is the resignation message sent by Carlos Ossenbach on Tuesday, November 14th to me and quite a few other registrants for the IOCC III in March, 2007 in Costa Rica. It seems that in the orchid world, good news travels fast, but bad news travels faster. Before I had a chance to forward the resignation message to those on my IOCC III mailing list, I received inquiries from those whom I had not yet notified of the resignation. Therefore, I choose to share the resignation message with readers of this list. Carlos is a man of the highest integrity, and during the years that I have been privileged to know him, he has demonstrated outstanding organizational skills for the Costa Rican conferences in 2001, 2003, and the IOCC III in 2007.
Wilella Stimmell, Member of the IOCC III Finance Committee "Dear friends: I am sorry to inform you that personal and professional reasons have led me to resign today from my position on the Organizing Committee of the III IOCC. Therefore, my functions will be taken over by the staff of Lankester Botanical Garden. >From now on, please direct your questions, registrations, etc. to: Jorge Warner Director of Lankester Botanical Garden P.O. Box 7050 Telephone (506) 552 32 47 1031 CARTAGO, COSTA RICA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please believe that I have enjoyed communicating with all of you and will miss sending future bulletins. I wish the organizers a most successful event and hope to see you all in Costa Rica in March of next year. Warmest regards to all of you, Carlos Ossenbach" _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
