Hello Dori,
We have a family membership in the The Southern Michigan Hemerocallis Society
http://www.daylilyclub.com
We joined last year, but haven't been to any meetings yet. Most meetings are held in Birmingham, so it's a bit of a drive. We did participate in the Exhibition last year and manage to see a couple gardens on the Garden Tour they had.
We're looking forward to attending the Spring Banquet (Program: Ohio Hybridizer Jamie Gossard).
The banquet is being held in Warren, so a bit closer for us than Birmingham.

I thought maybe someone would like more details about the SMHS April Banquet:
Our SMHS (Southern Michigan Hemerocallis Society) dinner with Jamie
Gossard from Ohio is on Saturday, April 21, 2007. Jamie is bringing
lots of luscious plants to be auctioned off. Jamie is well known for
his northern hardy spiders and unusual forms.
Dress ranges from casual to sorta dressed up. There are raffles,
auctions, power point productions and the usual merriment and fellowship.
New friends and old meet here every year. It is scheduled for Saturday,
April 21, 2007, at Crank's Banquet Hall ( in The Embers Room), 27900
Hoover Road, Warren, MI ( Crank's phone is 586-582-0080). Social hour and
cash bar at 6 p.m.; dinner at 7 p.m.
For those who have not made arrangements yet, there are still some
seats available. If you're procrastinating you need to get your
reservations in soon. Tickets are $25 for SMHS members, $30 for
non-members.

I'm really looking forward to it too Dori! I love Gossard cultivars, even though I've just discovered them recently. Several are on their way to me this spring.
It's only an hour drive for us, so My husband and son will be going with me to the dinner .....
You can MAKE ARRANGEMENTS to reserve your places by contacting the treasurer ARNIE OSELAND at arnieoseland@yahoo.com . CHECKS made out to SMHS and noted in lower left corner as "annual dinner" can be sent to
Arnie at 4849 Herd Road, Metamora, MI 48455.
I'd email him before sending a check, or I have a phone number for him, but I don't want to post it here. If you want the phone number email me and I can send it to you privately.
Here's another tip that they had in the email about the banquet:
AND to make it easy on yourself it's a GOOD AND EASY IDEA to bring return address mail labels to use on the MANY MANY raffle tickets you will buy. It is much easier to read off a name than it is to keep track of and look for a number. BRING MONEY for all those luscious things that will get raffled off and for all those delectable daylilies that Jamie is bringing!
WHAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN its snowing here
i painted the kitchen today-tomorrow second coat! tonight i took a hot jet bath for my aching arms!!!
cant wait for this weekend and highs in the MID 40s- oh ya oh ya
Is paul in florida now????-oh paul your so BAD!!!!!
We got about 3 inches of snow last night!
I heard the weatherman say "50" in his forecast for the Detroit area. Maybe we will hit the 40's this weekend, heck we'll think it's spring and the kids will refuse to wear their coats. Before you know it we'll be in "mud season".
4 inches here overnight, but the sun is shining brightly!! Supposed to warm up some and then back into the deep freeze in a week or so. Will this ever end? I'm banking on 70's in April....
I'm going to the spring banquet Kathy, hope to meet you!!!!
Cindy
i dont think i will be there-mushroom season!!!
Cindy, that's great! Are you coming alone? (Husband and son Joe are going with me)
Sorry we won't see you there Dori, but I bet you will enjoying those Mushrooms. Do you gather Morels?
I think they are going to have name tags, so that should help us find anyone we "know virtually".
Here's a picture of us from Christmas .... I did a bit of cut and paste. ;)
I just got this in my inbox .............. Maybe we can all attend one of these meetings.

I talked my husband into coming with me. I don't like to drive very far from home at night. My vision is not great night driving. The food is what convinced him to go. lol
I'm with you about driving at night Cindy ......... and if it's raining it makes it worse.
I'll be watching for you.
Kathy
Yes arliene got me into the Morels a few yrs back and now the whole family goes -shrooming!
sorry we wont be there! :( have fun!!!!!
Now, that's a skill I'd like to learn. (identifying Morels ...)
I absolutely love mushrooms. Sounds like fun.
DH and I went mushrooming a few years ago. Got lost in the ups and downs of state land near Cadillac. We spend hours wandering around. We could hear traffic,so headed towards the sound. Finally hit a road, but we couldn't decide which way to walk. Of course it was a cloudy day too. Hours later we recognized some landmarks.
We were dying of thirst - even the thrown away bottles on the side of the road started to look tastey! It was a nightmare. Haven't gone back since...but if anyone is making a slew of them, I'll come over!!
