Just wanted to get some idea as to the number of people interested in a Tissue Culture workshop put on by Carol Stiff's organization - Kitchen Culture Kits.

We are planning to hold it in Las Vegas and were thinking of March. We need to determine how many would likely attend. They usually cost about $100-115 per person for the workshop including all materials, supplies, lunch and so on.

This is lower if some of the expense can be reduced. I will host the workshop in my office, shuttle the instructor back and forth to the airport and perhaps get her motel room 'comped' by a casino. If you belong to any gardening or orchid clubs, spread the word and let me know how many can make it. The more people we have, the lower the cost....so please encourage all you can.

I haven't asked him yet, but Pauly (damaclese) is a chef by trade, so we will have a great lunch that is much better and less expensive than a catered box lunch (if he will consent to preparing it for us.)

Carol said that she would do 2 workshops if need be to accomodate everyones schedule. I would think we can set it up for a Saturday.

If you have ever wanted to learn about micropropagation TC'ing, now is your chance. Should March be bad timing, please give us your input on an alternate time frame and Carol will do her best to make it happen. We could have it before the end of the year too.
