Meetings are held the third Sunday of each month, September through May. In June we have a picnic at a member's home and in August there is usually a trip to a Chicago area commercial grower. Meetings start at 1:30 p.m. and are normally held at Olbrich Botanical Gardens, 3330 Atwood Avenue, Madison. Meetings include a brief business session, an educational presentation, ribbon judging of blooming orchids, refreshments and socialization.
