Attending: Linda Delgado, Joel Parker, Roger Lane & Loyd Monico

Meeting called to order @ 11:30

Joel brought some plants from his collection to share in the raffle. He will be moving to Lincoln soon and will be joining the Sacramento Club.

Loyd shared:

• Information from Kathi regarding Joan Lamber’s church installing a cactus garden.
• Plants are set up for the Holiday event.
• Santa Cruz arboretum seems to be back on line. He proposed a trip next year and moved that we donate $500.00. It was seconded and passed. We will check to make sure that it will actually go where we want it to before sending the money.
• He thinks that our Spring show and sale is going to be on the fourth or fifth weekend in April. He will verify.
• Loyd worked with Bill to start to plan the programs for 2017. Kathi suggested Keith Kiori Taylor. Linda suggested the Succulent Gardens Extravaganza 2017 and the Stanford Arizona Cactus Garden.

Roger has the treasurer’s report but didn’t bring it to this meeting. He will get it for January 2017.

Linda shared:

• The slate for the officers for 2017 & 2018.
• The Holiday Party plan with everyone.
• Linda helped mail the newsletter.
