President's Message…
Our October meeting
featured many beautiful dahlia blooms grown by several of our members for the
mini dahlia show. Dave and Dottie
Crockett won both the large and small categories with their superb entries.
We are now into the
first week of November and still haven't experienced a killing frost. The dahlia beds are full of color, but the
plants are starting to look tired due to the diminished daylight hours and
lower air temperatures. The dahlias and
the growers need a rest!
Our November meeting
will include the annual election of officers, planning of our winter meeting
programs, and organizing our 2004 Christmas Party. Please try to attend this meeting and come
with a few ideas that you would like to see for programs this winter. The ADS Slide Programs have an extensive list
of various titles to choose from. Or,
maybe you would like to see more "hands on" workshops on showing or
cultivating dahlias. The society is here
for you and our members. Your input and
attendance will make the meetings much more productive and enjoyable for all.
For our newly joining
members, please remember that the Connecticut Dahlia Society meetings are
always held on the second Saturday of the month. Directions to the meeting are available from
any of the officers or members.
See you on the 13th
