PBS searching for new bulb exchange director

[Robin Hansen]

As some of you know, due to the overwhelming popularity of the seed and bulb exchanges (US), the PBS Board has split this position into separate bulb and seed exchanges. The bulb exchange will occur 2-4 times a year, the seed exchange 2 times a year.

We are taking applications form volunteers to run the bulb exchange. If you are interested, please contact me or another board member. These exchanges are an extremely important part of membership in PBS, and are unique to PBS. Other plant societies have one exchange, nearly always of seeds only, once a year.

You need to know about plants but don't need to qualify as an expert and you will use MS Word and Excel software as well as stamps.com software. Supplies are provided and expenses are reimbursed. We prefer your location not be Siberia or the US equivalent due to the nature of our exchanges.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

The PBS Board is happy to announce the appointment of Bridget Wosczyna (pronounced wah zeen a)as the US Bulb Exchange director! Bridget lives in southeastern Pennsylvania  and is a dedicated South African bulb nut - although she seems to like an infinite variety, just South Africans more! A lurker and member for several years, she is excited to be giving back to PBS who she says has provided so many bulbs and a great education, since she really knew nothing about bulbs when she started learning about them more than 10 years ago.
