The program
will include a series of three concurrent breakout sessions. These breakout sessions
will be presented
twice, so attendees will be able to attend two out of the three
sessions. Click here for a copy of the agenda.
Again this
year, there will be a hosta seed silent auction, proceeds of which will
be used
to underwrite a portion of the cost of the meeting.
The cost of
this winter extravaganza is only $55 per person for Midwest Regional
Hosta
Society members and $65 for non-members, and includes a continental
breakfast
and a deli buffet lunch. At
their
option, non-members can apply the $10 difference in the registration
fee to a
one-year membership in the MRHS. Please
make checks payable to MRHS, and mail with the registration form to:
Kristine James
523 E. Calhoun Street
