In addition to Kirk's announcement:
 I have made arrangements with the Hampton Inn, just one block from the Convention Center, 1310 Race Street  for a block of rooms for our GWA meeting. The cost for Saturday/Sunday is just $122 ,plus taxes, and $109 for Friday/Monday. A great rate for Flower Show week!! This includes a hot buffet breakfast and a "Welcome Reception" on Sunday night in their breakfast bar. They are also giving us a Suite at the same room rate for on-going parties. An  optional $3 per person baggage fee is available. We need a minimum of 15 rooms to take advantage of this offer.
Please let me know if you are interested.Email me off list or phone.
thank you

Hi everyone:
 
    I'm writing to the Garden Writers on the list (and to those who are considering joining the organization) to announce the upcoming Region II meeting at the Philly Flower Show.  Many of you will not be receiving the flyer that generally accompanies this announcement because you are out of the region.  I also realize that this is the single best-attended Regional meeting the GWA sponsors and we always get a major turn out from the rest of the country.  I'm letting you all know the date so that you can mark it on your calendars and think about the travel arrangements.  I also wanted to get this out before the holidays intervened.
 
Here's the scoop:
 

Garden Writers Association

Region II Meeting

Monday March 7, 2005

Philadelphia Flower Show

 

7:30  Registration

8:15  Story Tours on the Floor

9:30  Meeting and Greeting,  The Exhibitor’s Breakfast

10:15  Business and Educational Meeting

Introductions

            Ms. Nancy Beaubaire:  GWA Update

            Ms. Jane Pepper:  Philadelphia Horticultural Society Update

            Panel Discussion:  “News and Views on the Green Industry”

            Moderator:  Ms. Liz Ball

            Panelists:  Ms. Robin Heller, Flowers by David

                        Mr. Jack Blandy, Stoney Bank Nurseries

                        Ms. Joanne Kostecky, Joanne Kostecky Garden Design

11:30  Door Prize Drawing

The rest of the day at your leisure at the show and on the trade floor.

 

    Gloria Day has done a great job scouting out the best rates in hotels.  She will follow this posting with all of the room details.  If we can get a consensus, we'll block a group and be able to stay in the same place and arrange for an evening's gathering on Sunday night.  It would be a great chance to catch up before the rigors of the flower show.  I hope that you all consider the great possibility of escaping the winter blahs and joining us at the Philly meeting!
