Dick introduced Suzy Oligmueller who gave a very interesting presentation about “Aquatic Plants + Service”. She then opened the floor for a question and answer period.

Dick presented the idea of having a Summertime Picnic at someone’s house or a park, rather than our Fall Member Picnic. There wasn’t much discussion leaning one way or the other. Mark suggested that we have both.

A meeting topic on Hydroponic Gardening was suggested. Suzy knew a person named Dean Lind that might be interested in presenting to the club. She will follow up with him.
