Hi,

I received this note from Jill Britton about this meeting which I think
would be of interest to some of you. I expect there are even members of
this group who expect to attend. If you are a member of a bulb related
group that is having a meeting that you think others might be interested in
knowing about, feel free to post the message about it to our group.

Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, BC. The event is being hosted by the
Victoria Lily Society. International speakers include Brian Mathew of
England who will be giving two presentations ... "Lilies from A to Z" ...
