Dear PBS members and supporters,

I am very pleased to announce that as of December 22, 2014, the Pacific
Bulb Society is an incorporated entity! The PBS is now a corporation and
has protection from law as any other corporate entities. It doesn't in any
way change our way of operation and we continue to provide educational
material and facilitate exchange of material for members.

This is all thanks to the hard work and leadership of our brave Vice
President John Wickham and Treasurer Arnold Trachtenberg, so please send
them thanks and gratitude for making this happen. Whereas we have been
trying to do this for years without success, John forged ahead and see it
through. It is a long and arduous process, starting with revamping our
by-laws which John also took charge with the help of Pam Slate. Then the
incorporation letters and forms had to be drafted and filed with the right
entities, followed with more forms and payments. Thank you so much, John,
Arnold, and Pam! John is now in the process of applying for non-profit
status and we hope to get it approved in the next few months.

After 12 years, the PBS being led by fearless leaders with forward visions
that kept us current technologies and the commitment to take care of our
members, our society is stronger than ever and continues to gain
acknowledgements, support, and membership world-wide. There are still many
things that we can improve upon, and we could not do it without your help.
Please donate in your extra bulb seeds and bulbs (most get gobbled up so
you don't have to worry that no one will want them). If you have an
article, like to write something, or see something that would be nice to
feature in our newsletter, please send them along. The wiki continues to be
the great source of accumulated bulb knowledge and we always need help.
Consider donating a bit of your time, images or text to the collective
fundamental tome of modern bulb growing.

Happy official birthday to the PBS and happy growing,

Nhu Nguyen
PBS President
