  Important Notice:

  This meeting will NOT be held in the Selby Gardens Great Room as usual.  For this Special Meeting, we will meet in the Selby Gardens Welcome Center.  Please read the following Special Instructions from Marian Kennell, SBS President.

• Hi everyone,

  We are very excited to let you know the plans for our September Sarasota Bromeliad Society meeting.  Bruce Holst will be giving us a private tour of Phase 1 of the Marie Selby Botanical Garden’s Master Plan.

  Our new members may not know that Bruce Holst is the Vice-President for Botany at MSBG and a longtime member of the Sarasota Bromeliad Society.  We are very grateful to Bruce and Selby for providing us with this unique opportunity!

  Bruce has asked that I provide him with a number of how many members are expected to attend. Depending on how many members attend we may need to split into two groups.  Please RSVP by responding to the evite you should have received — or by contacting us through the Contact Page on this website.

  Park in the garage on Orange Ave, as usual, and we will meet in the welcome center (new ticket area).  We will not be meeting in the Great Room this month.

  The doors to the welcome plaza and gallery will open at 6PM.  Currently we are not planning to have snacks, Show and Tell or Raffle plants at this meeting.

  Look for more details about this meeting and our October and November meetings in our upcoming newsletter.  If you don't already have my personal contact information, you can reach me with any questions you may have by way of the Contact Page on this website.

  Thank you,
  Marian Kennell,
  SBS President
