The purposes for which the Society is organized are to create an awareness of orchid culture; to foster the preservation of native species of orchids; to support research and development of orchid culture; and to hold meetings, lectures, and exhibitions.

GLOS normally meets on the third Saturday during the months of January, March, May, July, September, and November. 7:00 pm is the meeting hour, but come early to see what plants are available for purchase from our speaker-of-the-day and from other Members, and/or to bring plants to sell at our silent auction and raffle tables.

Our July 2008 meeting is our annual picnic. This year we will meet at Wonch Park in Okemos on Sunday, July 13. Set-up will begin at 1:00 with eating about 2:00. This is our big fund-raising event, so plan on bringing lot of orchids, garden plants and house plants for the auction.
