New England societies have been extended an invite to the NENYOS Piping Rock Orchids Open House and Picnic in Galway, NY. We think this is a great opportunity to meet orchid lovers from outside our area, hear some great speakers and spend a summer day among beautiful orchids (and maybe bring a few home with you).

Special Guests:
Marc Hachadourian (Speaker: New York Botanic Garden)
Darrin Norton (Speaker & Plant Sales: Mountain Orchids)

MOS is organizing a bus trip to the event. Cost for the trip is $40/person and includes bus fare to and from Galway, a light breakfast on the bus, and a donation to NENYOS for lunch.
