Welcome back to those who attended this year. I just wanted to take a moment to commend the planning committee for another wonderful year of educational programs with star speakers. Particularly, I had never before had the opportunity to see Vicky Cate or Dr. David Norman. It was great to hear so many thoughtful, entertaining, and engaging speakers with interiorscape-based experience and anecdotes. And I love this line from Vicky- being that the fate of interiorscape plants is to be doomed to life limited by the environment, our job is to make sure they "die in a slow and aesthetically pleasing manner." Too funny. Sometimes you just need a little laugh! See you next year!

Yours in benevolence, Lynnae.
