Sorry Vlad, that wasn't specifically directed at you.

Some of us find pettiness in supposedly mature adults entertaining.

Dear all,

Please remove me from your email list.

This is not how new board members should be elected, nor how communication
in such cases is done.

Thank you,
Vlad

Greetings, all PBS members,

The PBS board met on Sunday and is excited to announce the appointment

several board members. For the first time I recall, we have more

volunteer

applicants than positions available. Some time ago the board voted to
increase the number of board members from 9 to 11. Although we've had

8-9

in
the past, we decided to fill several positions. We can't say enough for

the

great response from PBS members who volunteered and the qualifications
listed. It was a terrific turnout!

The positions of secretary and vice president were filled by Emil Friend
(California), as secretary, and Bridget Wosczyna (currently Bulb

Exchange

Director) as vice president. Two other positions for members-at-large

have

also been filled: Kathleen Sayce from Washington state, and Kristen

Henty

from New Zealand.

In an effort to increase the geographical diversity and range of

experience

such as we have with PBS members, we are, for the first time, welcoming

southern hemisphere member. The time zone challenge has been met (who

knew

how significant that could be for countries down south) and we are

excited

to have such a range of board members with widely diverse gardening
education and experience, and as all members are - crazy about bulbs!

Please join me in welcoming the new board members. We will in the coming
months include brief biographical sketches of each new board member so

that

you can become acquainted with their various interests and experience.
These
will appear in the Bulb Garden so that all members can read them.

Best regards,

Robin Hansen, President

For the PBS Board
