|
The Midwest Regional Hosta Society is once again sponsoring the Winter
Scientific Meeting. This popular winter
event will be held Saturday, January 18, 2014 at the Lisle Sheraton, formerly the Wyndham Hotel, 3000
Warrenville Road, Lisle, IL. The hotel has given us a $79.00 room rate. Please
make your own reservations by calling 800-325-3535, and mention the “Midwest
Regional Hosta Society Winter Scientific Meeting” to guarantee the rate. Due to the change in ownership, we recommend that reservations made before November 15 be verified. Speakers scheduled for 2014 include: • Bob Olson – A history of the Midwest Hosta Society and its Newsletter • Glenn Herold
– More than you ever wanted to know about Lilies • Jeff Miller
– Hosta Sports – When is Enough, Enough? • Bob Solberg – Hostas of In-Distinction • Rick
Goodenough – Hybridizer’s Perspective • Dave
Wanniger – (Horticulturist in Charge, Boerner Botanic Gardens) – Not the Same Old, Same Old - New, Better Trees and Shrubs for the Home Garden • Mark Zilis –
Hostas of Distinction Program details, including topics for each speaker's presentation, are available here. The program will include a series of three concurrent breakout sessions.
These breakout sessions will be presented twice, so attendees will be able to
attend two out of the three sessions. Again this year, there will be a hosta seed silent auction, proceeds of
which will be used to help underwrite the cost of the meeting. The cost of this winter extravaganza is only $55 per person for Midwest
Regional Hosta Society members and $65 for non-members, and includes a
continental breakfast and a deli buffet lunch. At their option, non-members can
apply the $10 difference in the registration fee to a one-year membership in
the MRHS. Please make checks payable to MRHS, and mail with the registration
form to: Kristine James Registrations
postmarked after January 6 require a $10 late registration
fee per person. Questions? Contact
