Plant Table Forms
If you are bringing plants in for the plant table it's really helpful if you can download these and fill them out on your computer and print them out when you come in. It makes identifying the plants much easier. We're not saying that everyone has penmanship like a physician, however, sometimes it makes for some good puzzles. It also keeps us from having to pull tags from picking up your plants and pulling tags.

Gary Baker Service Award Nomination Forms
Gary Baker was a long term member of the Northwest Orchid Society. As with another member of our society, Rebeca Northen, Gary has contributed significantly to the orchid world. Gary was a hybridizer with the Beall Orchid Company for decades where he produced many famous crosses, some of which are foundations of orchids still in production today.
This award is given annually to the person who has contributed the most to the overall goals of the society in the prior year. The recipient is selected by the board from nominations made by the general membership. Honorees are presented with a crystal perpetual trophy engraved with their name. At this time the society solicits nominations from the general membership. If you have someone that you would like to nominate for
service during the past year, please fill out one of the following forms and return it to our second vice president.

Members may bring up to five plants to auction off (NWOS takes a 20% commission) and as many as you wish for a 100% donation to the Society.
If you want to bring more than five plants in the 80/20% category, put them on a donation portion of the auction sheet and they will be auctioned after all the other plants are gone. The annual auction is the only source of funding for the Library, UW Greenhouse and Zoo funds. The Scholarship Fund is funded by the Auction and the raffles held at most meetings.

The Scholarship Fund is used each year for a college student working on an Orchid related project.

Light Controls
To the right of the door to the equipment room is a wall panel with this on it. To adjust the cove or indirect lighting above the speaker which is helpful when displaying on the screen at the front of the room, use the lighted button with "C-Cove" on it. Depress the button to attenuate or increase the light levels for only above the screen with the cove lighting. Depressing continuously will be a loop of command so that if you depress the light level will repeatedly increase and decrease instead of just one direction.
