"Chris Rehmann... serves as the vice president of the American Orchid Society...
... the Orchid Society has noticed a significant drop off in membership in recent years. "We're trying to reinvent the Orchid Society...become a little more Internet friendly," Rehmann said. "We want to set up a Web site where you can go for specific information and advice on how to grow orchids." With membership down to 18,000 from 30,000 just two year ago, Rehmann will be involved in the process of hiring a new chief operating officer for the society. "We had to take an active role to stop that. But it's happening with other societies. They are all having problems. But it's something I think we can stop," Rehmann said." article URL : http://www.thehammontonnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070228/LIFESTYLE/702280302/1024 **************** Regards, VB _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
