Palm Society of South Texas (PSST)

Welcome

(Please note: Placing the cursor over a picture gives you some info on it....)

This month our society was set to meet at the Texas Visitors Information Center in Harlingen, to scope-out a potential site for a palm garden. But prior to that, we of course had to eat some lunch and arrangements were made at one of our famous Texas BBQ stops. During lunch members socialized and got caught up with one another. After the main meal was finished, George and Virginia (our hosts for this meeting) brought out some delicious muffins that were decorated with palm trees. After eating we all headed over to the visitors center to meet up with center officials and discuss the potential palm garden.

Upon our arrival to the center, we unfortunately got word that neither official could make our meeting. With that being known, we opted to press forward and still discussed the potential of adding a palm garden at the center. We also covered the normal society meeting agenda items such as a treasury and membership report as well as future meetings. Esmie River a who will be hosting our July meeting, spoke briefly on the activities she has planned for her first ever PSST meeting. After discussing all the issues at hand, we opted to go out and investigate the best potential location for our palm garden. Despite the very warm south Texas afternoon, we all went out and walked the grounds. The potential garden spot easily came to be evident as we were somewhat limited in potential locations and working around existing landscaping. Once we finished discussing the pros and cons of the location we closed out the meeting for the month.
