			<description><![CDATA[ HI,
<br>
Well, I did it again.  We had the Trisate AVC show this past weekend in Morristown,  NJ and no thanks to me, it was a good show. 
<br>
There were 12 members exhibiting and we had 103 plants in hort with about 9   in design..  I had 6 entries      none of which were anything to brag about   AS
usual I could not resist the sale table and came home the following:                                                   Plants .................

I am suggesting a way to reactivate this web site and get things up and running again.  <strong><font color="#990000">I am resolving that every day that I go

			<description><![CDATA[ Is anyone planning to go to the 2010 AVSA convention in Raleigh this spring?  I know that I am going to try to be there.  I am so looking forward to going
because I haven&#39;t been to one since Washington DC a few years back.  I do know that I am sure to be at the  2011 convention simply because it is within
daily commuting distance.  Whoopee!  Looking forward to the convention in Cherry Hill, NJ.

			<description><![CDATA[ Are YOU in the chat room?
<br>
<br>
How about trying this:  whenever you come to our forum to read.... click on the chat room  and see who else is waiting to visit????
<br>
<br>
You don&#39;t have to chat for an hour... all you have to do is say HI... and maybe you will find we are talking about something so interesting you will stay
for 15 minutes!!!

			<description><![CDATA[ I just made TWO CHANGES to our forum...
<br>
I think they will be &#39;for the better&#39;... let me know how they work for you!!!
<br>
<br>
1)  I changed the time for the &#39;Who&#39;s Online&#39;... to the last 15 minutes.  This might give us a clue to who is viewing the forum right now....  It
WAS set to who had visited the forum in the last 6 hours.
<br>
We can set this any way we like... from the last 15 minutes to the last day, or last week, etc.

2)  I changed the front... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi everyone, 
<br>
Was in chat this evening with Donna, Mrs. J., and Louise and we decided to try a chat tomorrow Thursday, August 16th at 5PM EST.  This means that people on the
west coast should try to be there at 1PM.  Please try to make this one.  Also Donna is posting a poll after this message as to when the chat room would be best
for you.  Hope to see many of you there tomorrow.

			<description><![CDATA[ Went to the chat room last night and chatted for a while with Donna (garden lady) and Laurie (Walton).  We didn&#39;t solve any earthshaking problems, we  just
 had a nice social chat.  I was wondering if anyone would be interested in chatting during the daytime as opposed to an evenig chat which we have been doing. 
I am available most  afternoons and would be willing to give that a try.  If any of you are interested,  reply to this email and let me know what day and time
would be best for... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <p>Many VV members have asked if there is any way to receive a daily digest of recent messages into their email.  Yuku does not offer this.  They will send you
an email notice that a new message has been added, but they do not include any part of the message.
<br>
     We have set up a FeedBlitz &#39;feed&#39; that you may subscribe to, if you wish to receive a list of our most recent messages.  Not all messages will be
sent full text, but it is as close to a &#39;daily digest&#39; as we knew... ]]></description>
