Holiday Picnic and Plant Swap
Trout Creek Park, Pavilion 3, 12550 Morris Bridge Rd, Thonotosassa
Take some time out of shopping and traveling to get together with Suncoast for a picnic and plant swap at Trout Creek Park on the HIllsborough River. Families welcome. Suncoast will provide paper goods, drinks, and sandwiches. You bring a side or dessert. If you have plants to share, bring them along. If you don't, maybe you can find some new native plants or seeds to take home.
A Message from our President
Thank you for supporting the Suncoast Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society this past year. As a dues paying member, you have enabled our chapter to fund grants for native gardens and purchase educational materials for distribution to Hillsborough County homeowners.
I am asking for your help in continuing the services that our chapter provides to Hillsborough County by serving on our board. We need members who are able to serve as Vice President, Treasurer, and FNPS Council representative. We also need a social media coordinator.
[Board members are elected by the membership to serve on the board of directors. At the first meeting of the new board, officer positions (President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary) are chosen by the board. Board membership does not require running for a particular office. Chapter By-laws]
Vice-President - Contributing to arranging guest speakers for meetings, assisting with our participation at the USF Botanical Garden plant festivals, and assisting the President with the management of the Chapter
Treasurer - Maintaining our Chapter checking account, making quarterly payments, and other duties required of nonprofit organizations. The work takes no more than 1 hour per week.
Council of Chapters Rep - Attending a monthly online meeting with other Chapter reps.Participating in occasional projects such as providing input on future educational materials.
