Dear Members,
In the words of the inimitable late Dave Dubose, former President of Shasta Chapter CNPS, the only rule of a volunteer organization is, Don’t tick off the volunteers!

As I welcome incoming President Amy Henderson, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you: our members. It is you who make all our activities possible: our field trips, our speakers, our educational activities, our website, our horticulture. I thank you and look forward to continuing to work with all of you.
~Susan Libonati-Barnes, Past President
