What's New!
June 2009
This month's tip: Due to the absentminded webmaster as of late, you're in for a treat! This month we have both the May Tip and the June Tip! Thanks to Bruce Barr for May's tip and to Margaret Anderson for June's tip. The aforementioned webmaster promises to be on top of it next month :-)
North Central District Convention and Rose Show is scheduled for September 11-13, hosted by Minnesota Rose Society. Details to come soon.

NEEDED: VOLUNTEERS FOR WRITING THE TIP OF THE MONTH: In 2009, the tip of the month for this website will be done (hopefully) by volunteers other than myself! I am looking for volunteers for a monthly tip to be on any topic of the writer's choosing. I have May-December open. Anyone wishing to be a writer and volunteer for a monthly tip please email me. Thanks ahead of time!
Please, local society officers who have schedules set for shows, etc. email Yvonne regarding EVENTS for 2009 to be included on this website. Also, any new officer information or contact info etc. please forward them to me. Thanks!

The ARS Needs
You!
The American Rose Society has embarked
on a national membership campaign and the North Central
District Rose Societies are pitching in to help. If
you haven't already joined, now is a great time to
do it. If you know someone who is interested in roses,
a membership to the ARS (as well as a membership to
their local society) makes a great holiday gift! Click
here for more information and to download the
printable signup form.
The American Rose
Society has partnered with US Bank to develop
a credit card program that rewards the ARS in
addition to our members. Each time you use the
card, the ARS receives a financial contribution
from US Bank. In addition, the card includes
reward benefits for you – with redemption
opportunities for gift certificates, merchandise
and travel options. Even if you already
have a credit card, you might want this card
as a way for you to track your rose related
purchases! The card design features a
beautiful red rose. |
