It seems excellent in the Philadelphia metro area. Many people belong
to several societies, because one orchid gathering a month just isn't
enough. :-) The Delaware Valley Orchid Council is comprised of nine
area societies and six commercial growers: their annual DVOC Speakers'
Forum 2 weeks ago drew 160 enthusiasts. Volunteers from the area
societies work together at the Philadelphia Flower Show each year. The
society I belong to (Pinelands) lists the major events of the nearby
societies in its newsletter each month.

All,

How is cooperation between local societies in your areas? Naturally, there
will and should be healthy competition, but do the societies get together on
any projects, etc?
