Hey Folks,  

TWO THINGS:

1. reminder of our meeting tonight.  Details are here:  http://nativeplantworkshop.com/blog/

2. Starting in June, we need to change the starting time of our meetings to 5PM.  This is done to accomodate our host Miami Dade College.  We can discuss some alternatives at tonight's meeting.
