his month we have interesting approaches from
both coasts on excellent Phal outreach. It is our
hope that you will find various aspects from each
to use in your own region. For those who find it difficult
to manage effective regional meetings, Carri and Marilyn
show us how to combine efforts with other directors for
exceptional results. Joan gives us a perfect example of an
energetic ‘can-do’ approach by a relatively new regional di-
rector yielding top-notch results. And, then, there is Tom
who consistently manages to conduct excellent regular
meetings in his own region while at the same time traveling
near and far to assist other directors by speaking at their
meetings and giving other support. Marshall adds an ever
present high level of Phal expertise and outreach for the
IPA in Southeast Asia. Kudos to Olie for being a constant
and reliable contributor to the Regional Director program.
We are grateful to each of these fine IPA leaders.

IPA SE Region Winter Meeting
Mark your calendar for Saturday, February 18, 2012 for
the annual winter meeting of the IPA SE Region. We’ll re-
turn to Peach State Orchids in Woodstock, Georgia with
the greenhouses open at 9 AM and our meeting to begin
at 10 AM. The program will be David Kessler of Atlanta
presenting a PowerPoint program on “The Development
of Harlequin Phalaenopsis”. As a probationary judge in the
Atlanta Judging Center, this was David’s choice of topics in
meeting his requirements to become an accredited judge.
The program was very well received at the judging center
and received excellent reviews from the judges. In addi-
tion to our speaker, we’ll have a discussion on culture in
the afternoon followed by an auction of selected plants and
6
related materials to raise monies for the IPA Color Fund
that supports color photos in the Journal.
IPA SE Region Summer Meeting
Our summer regional meeting is scheduled for Saturday,
June 2 at Lines Orchids in Signal Mountain, TN; I have
scheduled Carlos Fighetti, former AOS President and cur-
rently 1st VP of the IPA, to speak. Carlos is well travelled in
the world and has a number of Phalaenopsis presentations
available to us. Details to follow in the next Journal issue.
