MANHATTAN ROSE SOCIETY UPDATE –
President’s Message
June 23, 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 scheduled programs for July and August via GoToMeeting. This is a simple program to use and we will host practice sessions the day before each meeting to help you get online.
Paul Zimmerman was our June speaker via GoToMeeting and it was a great success. We had members from across the country as well as our own area. Many thanks to Paul for sharing his knowledge on roses with us.
Our next event will feature Manhattan Rose Society member, Mary Hahn, on Saturday, July 18,2020 via GoToMeeting, presenting a program on the English Garden Rose Tour led by Paul Zimmerman in 2019. This is a beautiful program with much information on rose varieties, including a visit to David Austin Roses and other private and public gardens. A tour like this had been planned for this year, but was cancelled due to the Coronavirus. It has been rescheduled for next June, 2021. Mary's program will give you an idea of how wonderful this tour will be. Email invites will be sent to all current members a few days before the meeting.
We will host a “practice session” for those not familiar with our GoToMeeting video conferencing tool, on Friday, July 17th from 2:00 – 3:00PM ET. An email invite will be sent to all current members. Log in anytime during this period to confirm you are ready for the online program.

Toni Simonetti, presenting Rosa! will be our August speaker, also via GoToMeeting. (See the Events page on this site)
Events for August, October and December have been cancelled until 2021. We will continue to schedule online programs through the rest of 2020. Be sure to check back often for updates that will be posted on the Events page of our website.
We will continue to publish our newsletter, Skyscrapers & Roses on the following schedule: 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.
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.
