Annual Doorakian Picnic
Sunday, July 25 August 8
The planned
PDS cookout at my residence for Sunday, 7/25/10 has been postponed due
to impending inclement weather (Today I spent a decent amount
of time looking for the potential of rain for Sunday, and at present
there is an 80% chance of rain for Sunday morning ending about 2:00PM,
and based on that high percentage, I decided to cancel.)
Please have members contact me by phone (781-275-2343) or e-mail
at
doorakian@aol.com if they plan to attend on August 8th
"The annual PDS picnic/cookout will be
held on Sunday, July 25th August 8 from Noon to 3PM at the Doorakian, 4 Bandera Dr.
Bedford, MA residence. The menu will consist of Kosher hot dogs and
hamburgers and will have all of the add ons with cold beverages. There is no
cost to participate in the cookout, as Mary Fisher and I are giving a
donation to our group, PDS, so that there is no cost what-so-ever to our
members AND their non PDS spouses/companions. If members would like to add
to our menu, please do so, but keeping in mind if the food needs
refrigeration they must also provide the containers & refrigeration (i.e.,
ice, solar powered refrigerator). As well, anyone who is bringing food
stuffs should plan to arrive by 11:30AM. Also, at least one week before the
picnic/cookout, I would like all members who are planning to attend this fun
event to notify me either by e-mail (doorakian@aol.com) or a voice message
to George at 781-275-2343, with your name and number of people attending. At
the end of the picnic/cookout, I will be having an auction of all of my
newest '2010 daylily introductions. The funds generated from this event will
be donated to the PDS treasury. The total cost of all the '2010
introductions, if purchased separately equals $600, a minimum bid of 50% of
the actual value will be the starting point! Looking forward to seeing
everyone and if the weather pattern holds, the late blooming daylilies
should be showing off their stuff as peak bloom will probably occur 2 1/2
weeks earlier. In addition, my home bathroom facilities , second level,
will be available."
John Pike had a special interest in preserving heritage daylilies.
This digital photo contest encourages the appreciation and preservation
of both historic daylilies and modern hybrids.
Here are the winners
(and second and third places too, which had not been announced)
Check out our PDS "store" on Cafepress at
http://cafepress.com/patriotdaylily. We can upload designs and
photos and make them available to our members or to the public at large.
We have several designs. Anything with the PDS name has no
markup, other items have small markup as a fundraiser. There is no
cost for the store as long as we stay within their guidelines.
All members please feel free to email me your list of favorite
daylilies.
If you have a photo as well that would be great. Tell
us why its a good one. See Members' Favorites page.
TRADES-
Time to start thinking about what you might have to trade with other PDS

under the security section. Your list of HAVES and list of WANTS can be
emailed to me anytime in the year.
