Cheryl, that would be great! But 8 hours is a long drive. sigh,,,,,, BUT! if you do come post to this thread! I will be working the sale and I always wear a name tag that says "HI! I'm Rosie (smiley face)". You can't miss me ! Just introduce yourself!!! The prices are reasonable and there are lots of things to see! (and buy!!) Anyone else thinking of coming? Rosie

With credit cards, are there fees just for having access to using them or only on completed sales? If the latter, the amount the society would likely obtain by selling more plants would make it more than worthwhile. Why not allow PayPal? Again there is a fee if Friends & Family is not used but, again, the amount sales could increase would offset that. While there may have been some folks who went and hit the ATM, a lot of people will not bother doing so. At the orchid shows, if the vendors only took cash or checks a lot of plants would never get sold. Even for myself, this applies though to a lesser extent. I often sell carnivorous plants at the shows as the vendor I help out graciously allows me to use a small area by the register to sell them. I prefer to only take cash (won't take checks), but on several occasions only made the sale because I allowed the customer to use PP.

I think the things that need closing worst are churches (sorry) and schools. There are no larger regular congregations than those with the potential for wildfire spreading of viruses. However, I was out today to finish my own shopping for lock-down, and I noticed clearly that everyone else is preparing for it too. The University of Arkansas closed the campus today and all classes are to be online only for the rest of the term. Considering that a lot of your members are probably older Rosie, it's probably for the best if it cancels/reschedules too.

Ahhhh,,,,,caught that didn't ya? No photos and no purchases because I couldn't go. Mandatory mask is a deal breaker for my ability to breathe. Sooooo,,,,,that is how it is possible. Maybe next time! Rosie
