JUNE WJRS Meeting is now On-Line!

THE 2020 WEST JERSEY ROSE SOCIETY ONLINE ROSE FESTIVAL,
Saturday, June 27, 7 pm

We’ll look at photos of this year’s roses from our members gardens. Submit your photos to be included to Terry Palise by Saturday, 6/19

Remember to indicate the rose’s name and classification (HT, FL, Miniature, etc)
Also, let us know if the rose was bought from this year’s WJRS Rose Sale.

We’ll be using the GOTOMEETING platform. It’s very easy to use on your computer.
New to GoToMeeting? Get the app now and be ready when your first meeting starts: https://global.gotomeeting.com/install/409957261

Contact Terry if you have questions or concerns about how to join.

Look for an email from Terry on June 22 with a password or access code to the GoToMeeting on-line Event.

Stay well, everyone! Enjoy this beautiful spring weather – and don’t hesitate to reach out to anyone on the Board for information, reassurance – or if you just want to say Hello to a friendly fellow rose lover.  We’d love to hear from you!

In-Person Meetings Postponed!!
Out of an abundance of caution and concern for the well-being of our members, we have decided to postpone our in-person meetings until conditions allow.
We will schedule meetings in an on-line format as we are able.
The weather is beautiful, so go out in your garden and give your roses some love -- they'll be sure to love you back!

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD A TETANUS BOOSTER?
A Tetanus Booster should be scheduled preferably every 5 years or at the most every 10 years.
While working in the soil or with any puncture wound you could contract a life-threatening bacteria.
So, schedule yourself for a booster and be safe!
