Please Update Your Society's Information on the ARS Web Site

Is your society’s information on the American Rose Society’s website up-to-date?

I’m glad that I recently checked my local society’s information as it wasn’t! To update your officers, go to the ARS home page at www.ars.org.

At the very top of the screen, click on “Local Societies”. Next, click on the hyperlink for "Update Local Society Information”. Simply fill in the information asked and click “Send”. This is an easy and wonderful process.

Having your society’s information be current will surely benefit those in your area who may be searching for a local society to join or who may have questions about their roses. (read more)

If you have a new editor in your society, please let me know.  This is my third e-mail to the editors, but for some of you in the Deep South, this will be the first time that you've heard from me.  If you'd like to receive copies of the two previous e-mails, please let me know.

The LSRC exists to help you with any questions or concerns that you may have!
