Dear All, This is a survey to measure the interest in forming a North American Clivia Club. The structure and function of the National and Regional Clubs are open for development. There appears to be a real desire for such a Society, so if you grow and love clivias and want to participate, please respond. The purpose of the Club will be to bring together those of us who love clivias in North America (United States and Canada), to facilitate communication, and promote the appreciation and cultivation of these special plants. Enthusiasts will be needed to accomplish this goal. If you are willing to become involved in an organizing committee, by e-mail or post, please contact either of the undersigned (who have volunteered to promote this preliminary survey). Remember, you need not be a hybridizer or large grower to participate; organizational skills, commitment and follow through are the traits needed to make a success of this project.
