MANHATTAN ROSE SOCIETY EVENTS CANCELLED THROUGH MAY 30th.
MANHATTAN ROSE SOCIETY UPDATE –
President’s Message
March 19, 2020
As a society, the most important thing we can do right now is to make decisions to keep our members and the community safe. With this in mind, we have cancelled our March, April and May meetings, due to the outbreak of Coronavirus. Paul Zimmerman was our March speaker and Toni Simonetti was our April speaker. These are both wonderful programs that we hope to bring you later in the year.
Dr. Kevin Ryan was scheduled to present his wonderful program on Fragrance Demonstration at the Little Rose Show and we will try to reschedule him for later this year as well. Regarding the Little Rose Show, it will most likely be past our prime bloom by the time we would be able to reschedule, therefore, I am asking you to photograph your roses throughout the season. We will plan a Photography Show/Exhibition for one of our events later this year.
We will continue to publish our newsletter, Skyscrapers & Roses on the following schedule: March/April, May/June, July/August, September/October, November/December.
In addition we will be gifting every current Manhattan Rose Society member with a One-Year Free Membership Renewal. This is our way of saying Thank You for your membership and support and recognizing that your 2020 benefits have been curtailed due to the virus. The renewal will begin at the end of your current membership.
The schedule of events for MRS has typically been to have speakers at the beginning of the year and events in the later part of year. This is not set in stone and we have the flexibility to arrange a schedule that will fit to the needs of our members while taking into account the current health crisis we are facing. Therefore if the situation permits, we plan to try to reschedule for later this year.
I know that you are disappointed. We are too. All any of us can do right now is to practice the social distancing that the government is asking of us. We have a responsibility to each other and we must recognize that our individual actions affect all of us. This will not last forever and if we do the right thing now it will hopefully have a much better outcome.
Roses have been a major part of my life for over 25 years. Over that time and in other times of need, my rose work gave me a focus on something that was beautiful and filled with hope. This is something that can help you as well. The good thing is that this is not the middle of winter and we can go out into the garden. We can share of love of roses and our knowledge by writing articles for our newsletter. We can also photograph our roses and plan for the future. The Rose is a symbol of beauty and hope and right now the world needs all the beauty and hope it can get.
Be well, stay safe and know that we value your membership more than I can say.
