Programs in the Local Societies of the Yankee District
I will post programs of your society if you send them to me, its a good way to get new members and also to let other societies know what you are doing

At the summer board meeting we discussed trying out another discussion board to further communication in the District. This one on Google seems safe from the spam I had to deal with on the previous bulletin board. It is by invitation only to avoid spam. So, email me on the above form and I will add you to the list. This will allow members to discuss Yankee District events, announce programs in their society, ask for help, announce interesting rose related sales and notify other members of relevant news. Photos can also be posted. You have the choice of getting emails individually from the board, or combined together as 1 email. We have something similar in Rhode Island and find it useful and fun.
