The Southland Orchid Show Committee will need additional help and volunteers for the future shows.  To make these shows a success, we will need further involvement at the grass roots level from each of the southern California orchid societies and individual members.  Please feel free to contact us via email at bklauri@yahoo.com  if you would like to donate some of your time and effort to ensure the success of our new orchid show.
