President's
Message
by
Brenda Coffey
Unfortunately the BGRS Rose Show had to be cancelled.
Mother Nature and Father Time couldn't seem to get
together for the benefit of creating roses by May 18.
But there is a new plan that will allow us to enjoy each
other's roses. Since June is traditionally when we
start our in-club competition for the year, this year
BGRS is going to kick off our in-club competition with a
small rose show at our June meeting. All members are to
bring their roses, label them and place them at the
appropriate table(s). For our Rose Show you may enter
as many different roses in each class as you wish, but
there cannot be duplicates of the same rose in the same
class. There will be a separate table for
arrangements. Arrangements may be from any of the
classes listed in our 2013 rose program. Judging will
occur, and a prize will be given to the Best of Show.
In-club competition points will be awarded to the top 3
entries in each class. For our new members the points
are kept each month and an award for the highest total
is given at the December social. (The in-club
classes are listed within the Rosebuds.)
Hopefully everyone's
roses are now blooming. Since the roses from our show
were to be taken to the veterans in local nursing
facilities, we would like to follow through with that
activity. The details will be discussed at our regular
June meeting. Remember to bring any vases that you
would like to donate. Magazines and other items that
you want to donate for use at the library need to also
be brought to this meeting. We also will need
volunteers to take roses to the library throughout the
month of June, so check your roses and sign up for their
(and your) best time. Our rose society offers lots of
opportunities for you to serve. See you on the 7th
