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 >_______________________________________________ >pbs mailing list >pbs@lists.ibiblio.org >http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php >http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/ >
