Yes, I would like to volunteer to speak there on 'plants in Canada' The hobby here has grown since the introduction of plants in the last few years. Yes, I vote to get Eric the program he needs. Would it be possible to send me the labels for the renewal notices. I would not mind taking over that part and getting the letters done up and mailed as I did before. Is there a better way out there?
