Our annual ABC meeting is devoted to getting to know our newer members and to teaching some basic skills that they might wish to acquire.  In the past it has covered such topics as:  removing pups, potting plants, mounting plants, propagating plants by seed, the general growing conditions needed for various genera.  Veteran members can mingle with old friends and make a few new ones.  Besides, they usually pick up a trick or two from the program..
