Meetings take place at Mt. Carmel Lutheran Church,
8424 West Center Street, Milwaukee 53222-4798.
Our regular meetings are usually held on the first Sunday of each month. Due to other societies shows, some of the meetings are held on alternate Sundays. Check the schedule below for the exact date.
The meetings generally offer a program, such as a guest speaker, as well as judging and showing of members’ plants, and a social hour with refreshments. Other activities have included a holiday party and two members’ plants auctions (a great opportunity to obtain plants at reasonable prices).
We also have a monthly newsletter with events, articles, orchid news from the Internet, and much more.
