Eastern Michigan Hosta Society
January 2024 Updates
Dear EMHS Members and Friends,
There are some updates that I felt needed to be addressed.
First, Hosta College will be on March 15th & 16th in Piqua, Oh at the Upper Vally Career Center. For those that have never been to Hosta College, you are missing out on a fun way to see a little bit of spring before Mid—Michigan typically sees it. Friday evening is open to the public for shopping in the vending area and attending the auction. Saturday, starting in the morning are classes to attend. There are more than 40 classes to choose from this year. Please consider attending this function as you will meet people, learn something, and have the opportunity to buy plants which is always a lot of fun. The 2024 Hosta College website link is further down in this posting.
2023 IRS tax reporting has been filed and accepted by the IRS.
Lorraine Jessop, one of the first members of EMHS died on December 30, 2023. She and her late husband Jim are sadly missed.
Mick Hodgson, after falling and breaking his hip in December is now in the Devonshire Retirement Village in Lapeer. You can send cards to their home or call Cathy for information.
Lastly, a reminder that our next meeting is on February 8th, 2024 at the Mayfield Township Hall in Lapeer. This meeting will be for us to discuss this year’s plans for EMHS, pay our $10 annual dues, order plants from the last planned EMHS Plant Sale, and to enjoy another EMHS Potluck.
Sincerely,
Glen Pace
EMHS President
