We are heading into the holiday season! Make sure to mark your calendar for our wonderful PRS holiday party which will be on a WEDNESDAY this year! 12/10/2025 at the Veterans Building, where we hold our regular monthly meetings. It is always a nice evening with great food, prizes, awards, and social time!

The October meeting was outstanding – we had a great speaker and a really good turn out! Make sure to SIGN UP for the November meeting – more details are listed in the newsletter, but we will all be making holiday rose arrangements to take home and we will need an exact count to be sure to purchase enough supplies.

We also tried a new activity for our October meeting – there was no show, but we asked people to just bring whatever roses were blooming in members’ gardens, and maybe their favorite roses! It was fun to see new varieties with no pressure about perfection and judging! We will plan to do this again next year – thanks to Chris Holmes for the idea!

We will also be voting for the 2026 officers in November, so please come for that as well. I have enjoyed being your President over these past 2 years, and the time has flown by! We also have many volunteer roles that are available if you would like to get more involved. It is fun and easy, and you can share a job to make it easier.
